From Reykjavik: Northern Lights Aurora Hunt by Super Jeep

The feeling of staring skywards at the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, can not be caught on film, brought indoors, nor adequately described. Poets, photographers, and filmmakers have tried, but only being there can truly give you that unforgettable feeling.As it happens, Iceland is right under the Northern Lights belt, and therefore, is a perfect place on Earth for Aurora viewing. Also, the unstable weather conditions in Iceland increase the chances of those with limited time to catch them. Clear skies are not needed. All you need is a hole in the clouds at the right time. This is a hunt, not a conventional tour, meaning we're not going to specific places. Where we go depends on the research and expertise of your super jeep guide and the Mountain Taxi team.If we decide that the conditions are unfavorable; we won't go. Our super jeeps are essential for maximizing your chances of good Aurora sightings. First and foremost, the darker your surroundings, the easier it will be to see the Northern Lights. Looking for the Northern Lights in a city would be like watching a film in a movie theater with all the lights on. Our Superjeeps can take you as deep into the darkness as possible within our timeframe, away from the city, and away from buses, road traffic, and other light pollution.We will travel off-road, in the snow, as necessary. If they fail to appear, you will still have had a great trip. If you want to hunt down those elusive Auroras, Mountain Taxi is your best ally.
