What an amazing trip.. just a few quick processes of the pictures I managed to get in between being gobsmacked at the mind blowing views... I would recommend Iceland to anyone its a fantastic place will 100% be going back!!  


 


We had views of the Aurora for about 2.5hrs on Friday night and it was breathtaking... even tho it was about -12c

Some super shots there Steven. Looks a bit better when I assume the Moon got out the way a bit more? What a great experience!

Marvellous photos :)

I'm really envious, I've always fancied going there, or on an arctic cruise to Svalbard (Spitsbergen).

Smashing pics Steve. I saw these posted on the astrophotography mag facebook.  Always fancied going to Iceland, never been. I have 15 days holiday to take by end of March. Hmmm? But I wouldn't know if the places you went to, required a car, and out into the sticks. I'd be by myself, so not sure? I'd consider going if there were others from the Forum wanting to go for a weekend or short trip.

Hi, was an amazing trip and would recommend it 100%, we were very lucky that we had clear night for the trip we booked, you don't need a coach there are trips booked on it via coach all the time.. We booked the Northen Lights Mystery Tour with one of the main companies called Greyline (there are only 2 the other is Reykjavik Excurtions) who were brill on time and efficient is the Icelandic way!! Yes you could happily go by yourself and enjoy everything we also did the Golden Circle Tour and Blue Lagoon Spa so would recommend them too. Iceland is expensive but not as much as everyone says we even came back with a few hundred quid spending money.

Greyline offer the Northen lights tour on the basis if you don't see them that night you can keep rebooking each night until you do for free. It's a 4-5 hour trip so wrap up warm as it got to about -12c.
