Iceland offers some of the most accessible aurora borealis viewing in the world — from September through March, the northern lights dance across the sky above a landscape of volcanoes, glaciers, geysers and waterfalls that is extraordinary in any season. Reykjavik is a compact, welcoming city with an incredible food and music scene, and the Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon are among the world's great natural experiences.
September through March is aurora season. October and February are peak months. Stay outside Reykjavik for dark skies. Combine with the Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon.
