The benefit of visiting in winter? You’ll experience these sublime landscapes without the crowds—but with a splendid dusting of snow instead. Winter in Iceland is a time of snow-covered landscapes, unique festive traditions, and of course the northern lights. Many of the incredible things that you’d enjoy in Iceland in summer are possible in winter too—but with an extra something special. Read our guide here: https://bit.ly/3ZLeZmx

For example, on the Golden Circle, you’ll see geysers shoot water high into the sky above snowy fields. Or witness the plunging torrents of waterfalls shrouded in ice. Alternatively, head out onto the vast icy worlds of glaciers. Whether on foot or by snowmobile, a glacier tour will show you a landscape you’ve likely never seen at home. Don’t miss a glimpse under these mighty expanses on an ice cave tour. Then there’s Christmas in Iceland. With joyful light displays, unique cuisine, and not just one Santa, but 13 Christmas trolls, it’s a reason all by itself to visit Iceland in winter.

What Are the Northern Lights?
The Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) are a natural light display that occurs in the Earth's polar regions. This breathtaking phenomenon is caused by the interaction between solar particles and the Earth’s magnetic field.

When charged particles from the sun collide with atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, they emit light, creating the vivid colors—typically greens, pinks, and purples—that we see dancing across the night sky. The Northern Lights have fascinated people for centuries, not only for their beauty but also for the mystery surrounding their appearance.

Ever witnessed the magical aurora? Iceland is one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights due to its location within the Auroral Zone, a region around the Earth’s magnetic poles where auroral activity is most intense. This zone is where geomagnetic storms, which cause the Northern Lights, primarily occur.
