Iceland at Night - Northern Lights and stargazing in Iceland @icelandatnight.bsky.social · 21/09/2025
Chasing aurora mostly depends on the local weather. Iceland at Night website now not only features the most accurate cloud cover forecast by the Icelandic Met Office, but two satellite views in near real time. An extremely useful feature for aurora chasers in Iceland. Check it out!

Last night was quiet, as expected. We saw faint aurora that got slightly brighter throughout the night, as seen in the image taken from Geysir area. Tonight will likely be very similar. Clear skies in many places. Keep an eye on the cloud cover forecast and space weather data on our website.

Openings expected in the cloud cover tonight in multiple locations in west & north #Iceland. A decent #aurora display is definitely a possibility so keep your eyes on the data and the sky from roughly 10:30 👀

Last night sure did not disappoint! 😍 Beautiful lights were seen in many places. And tonight looks very promising too for the majority of Iceland. 📸 Erynne Daigneault Feury send us these beautiful images from last night taken close to Jökulsárlón (Glacier lagoon). Thank you for sharing!

Last night (August 9) in Iceland. Beautiful Northern Lights can be seen in deep twilight, shortly after midnight. This bodes well for those brave enough to travel for the eclipse next year. #aurora #northernlights #Iceland #Icelandatnight

First #aurora spotted over Iceland this season, August 5. We expect enhanced activity at the weekend when a coronal hole rotates towards Earth. You have a chance of seeing #NorthernLights after midnight. Just keep an eye on the cloud cover and space weather data ar icelandatnight.is

Ertu að vinna á hóteli eða rekur gistingu fyrir ferðafólk? Væri gaman að heyra frá þér hvernig staðan er. :) Gisting innan almyrkvaslóðar á Íslandi milli 11-13. ágúst eða svo er víða orðin uppseld og allar líkur á að seljist alveg upp þegar nær dregur. www.visir.is/g/2025272878...

Morgunblaðið í dag, 15. maí, um skipafarþega sem verða á Íslandi í kringum almyrkvann 12. ágúst 2026. Mér telst til að þeir verði í það minnsta í kringum 7000 talsins. Ótal fundir með hagaðilum innan almyrkvaslóðar, bæði fyrirtækjum og sveitarfélögum, loksins að skila árangri.
