We decided to go and check on the conditions on the way to Landmannalaugar but the road there usually doesn't open up untill late June. To our surprise the road was snow free and we made it all the way to the road closure just after Sigöldufoss waterfall. Unfortunately we won't be able to drive all...

A deeper insight in to the Auroral Hunt.

So you decided to go out on your own and you have found a clear sky, you can see stars but no Aurora. This is when hopelessness starts to sink in and you start thinking about what you are doing wrong. If you would ask my grandmother she would tell you that the lights only turn on when the elves are....

A Short Break of the Stormy Weather.

The last two weeks have been hard on the Northern Lights hunters. There have been winds exceeding 140 mph and snowstorms with a lot of cloud cover. When the clouds or snow cover the sky it is impossible to see the Aurora.

But yesterday we spotted a little break in the weather and decided to go ahead and give it our best. We were rewarded with a show of the Northern Lights. As we were driving back to the city the wind started to blow once again and the clouds closed in showing us just how small we are.

The force of mother nature is something else and a magnificent display of power. To experience the sheer power and ferocity gives a feeling of awe.

Due to our capable vehicles we are fortunate enough to be able to go out when the other tours cancel and are rewarded for our efforts.

Hunting Northern Lights for Dummies 101:

The most common question we get is how to find the Northern Lights.

Many people want to try their luck and strike out on their own to try to hunt down the Northern Lights. The amount of information on how to find them might seem overwhelming but it's not that complicated.

Step 1: Go to auroraforecast.is and look at the cloud cover forecast.

Step 2: Find a place clear of clouds and drive there

Step 3: If you can see stars you will be able to see the Northern Lights if they turn on.

Step 4: If you have a clear cloudless sky above, you might be seeing the Northern Lights already, if not then wait.

Step 5: Wait and watch for something to happen.

If you follow this recipe your chances of finding the lights are already way better than average.

If you want to learn directly from the pro guides you can book a tour with us and we'll show you the ropes! Book at arcticout.com

I'll be writing a post on how to predict Auroral activity and more in depth information on hunting the Northern Lights in the future.

According to Chinese mythology, the Northern Lights are Dragons, and seeing them will grant you and your descendant's prosperity in your life. We at Arctic Out always try our hardest to make sure you see the Dragon!🐉

The sky is on fire tonight🔥

We started the night at the Aurora Basecamp and after getting our bearings and the gossip for the best spots for the night we headed off on the hunt.

After a drive through some thick fog, making a pit stop for some local delicacy and hot chocolate and hunting down the perfect spot we found success last night!

The lights revealed themselves and we were blessed by this beautiful display.
