NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Report form Eldey: our tour tonight started quite starry, with many gaps of clouds in the sky. And also looking promising, cause our forecast indicated a Kp index of 3. The moon was a bit bright, but it was also hidden behind the clouds during most of the tour. Looking at many different spots of the sky and taking pictures to see if there was any sign of lights even if not visible with our naked eye, we continued our trip listening to good music, until the clouds started to become thicker, until we didn't have many gaps and stars at the sky anymore. Very suddenly, it started to snow! The weather in Iceland in any season of the year is very unpredictable and this for sure wasn't predicted by us. Surprised, we started our journey to the harbour and decided to give out complimentary tickets so the passengers have another chance of coming back and seeing the lights once more.
