Northern Lights?
Exodus Staff
I saw them on a trip to Iceland in 2007. Wasn't with Exodus, just a solo long-weekend break, they were beautiful! It was at the beginning of Feb and we took a coach ride out into the national park, away from the city to see them. It was quite a long wait - 3-4 hours - and some people wanted to give up and go home. But we persevered and saw them at about midnight. It was good because the weekend had been very cloudy until the final evening when it finally cleared up enough to see them.
We only got a very short show, so I would love to return and see them again, hopefully a more spectacular viewing. I hear that we are now entering a high "solar activity" point in time (a cycle of 7 years) so perhaps shows are oging to be more common/spectacular for the next 2-3 years. I am thinking about going to Norway or Finland in 2013 with the hopes of seeing them.

This has been one of my ambitions for years but I have never got round to doing anything about it!
I watched the TV programme done by Joanna Lumley a couple of years ago where she managed to see the lights - I think it was in a remote part of Norway - and this made me even more determined to see them.
I must get round to booking a holiday but I think you have to be aware that you might never see them even though you are in a likely place. Can anyone recommend a location where there is a higher chance of seeing them?
