Iceland is one of the prime destinations in the world for witnessing this enchanting natural phenomenon. From late September to early April, when the nights are at their longest and darkest, the stage is set for the northern lights to appear.
The lights manifest as vibrant, dancing ribbons of green, pink, and purple in the night sky. This breathtaking display is caused by charged particles from the sun colliding with the Earth's atmosphere, creating luminous patterns.
However, note that the appearance of the northern lights is not guaranteed. Nevertheless, the unpredictability of the aurora borealis adds to its allure, as no two displays are ever the same.
