When conditions are right, the vehicle stops in wide, open areas far from any artificial light. Above, green or violet lights dance across the sky. Standing under the vast Arctic sky, you witness the northern lights in their purest form.
To help you capture the magic, your guide shares simple tips for photographing the northern lights. You’ll learn how to adjust your camera and find the best angles to frame the lights over Iceland’s landscapes. Even if you’re new to night photography, these tips will help you bring home beautiful photos that capture the awe of the aurora.
