phenomenon a lifetime experience for the
witness’.
The northern lights are as elusive as
snowfall in the Himalayas and have left
thousands of tourists disappointed.
Northern lights need perfect conditions
to show up: there should be no cloud cover,
no light pollution, flaring activity in
magnetosphere and few more things.
No one is sure as to when and for how
long these lights will show up but there be
few things that can come handy to increase
your chances of see the lights dancing.
It is recommended to partake in a tour
with a Northern Lights guide because it
is one of the most effective ways of seeing
the Aurora in their full glory. These guides
are not only well-versed with best and
darkest points to view the lights but will
also provide a wealth of scientific
information to add more colour to the
phenomenon. They can also help you with
photographic tips to capture the spectacular
cosmic show.
GLACIER HIKING & ICE
CAVING
Iceland justifies its name quite fairly. There
are floating icebergs, dazzling blue glaciers
caves, sweeping glacier tongues. This frozen
island, however, experiences mild
temperature during summer but it is
winters that Iceland lives up to its name.
Thankfully, the Icelandic glaciers are
accessible to visitors throughout the year.
Here you get an opportunity to have a closer
look to these mighty giants. You can also
opt for hiking the ice cap itself for even
closer look and also slip on a pair of
crampons.
VISIT RAUDASANDUR
BEACH
After all the climbing, hiking, caving and
natural hot pool bath, you might want some
time to relax by the seaside alone, with
friends or the loved one.
The Raudasandur beach consists of pink
and red sand and sits on the back of
Latrabjarg Peninsula. The beach is not at
all ideal for sunbathing but one can surely
opt for a walk, experience the pounding
waves and enjoy the spectacular beauty of
turquoise lagoons.
A stroll along the edge of the sea will
give you glimpse of the resident seals and
further lead you to the bird cliffs.
