Northern Lights hunt, how does it work?
If you come to Iceland in the wintertime, for sure, you will want to see the Northern Lights. Maybe, the most beautiful thing that can be seen in nature.
To see the Northern Lights, you will need two things: To be patient and to be Lucky. The luckier you are, the less patient you will need to be!
Northern Lights are only visible when the sky is clear and there is no cloud cover. Basically, if you can see the stars, you can see the Northern Lights. If they happen! And this is when luck and patience come into play. Even with the best conditions, eventually, all you have to do is to wait and gaze at the sky!
