Two nights ago I finally saw the northern lights for the first time in Iceland. The internet predicted good viewing conditions and the sky was clear. Before it was even completely dark, I could see them dancing across the sky from the window. I went down to the ocean to watch them and lots of other people were out looking as well. The next night, the lights gave another nice display. They really are mainly green, and only once briefly did I see a flash of purple. As I kid I saw the northern lights in North America and I remember them being very colorful. But I’m certainly not complaining. This was a real special treat and the perfect way to end my birthday trip to Iceland. I’ll be back for Christmas ...
