Iceland Day 2 - Northern Lights above our Cabin
If you travel to Iceland in October, you have a chance to see the northern lights. We downloaded an app and noticed that our chances were the best the first few days. But staying awake all night wasn’t an option, with all the travel plans we had for the coming days. Luckily I woke up around five o’clock, and instead of turning myself around for my much needed sleep, I decided to take a look outside. Once my eyes were used to the darkness I started to see a vague light I had never seen before. Then I started to move around and I knew this was the first time I saw the northern lights. So I woke the others and the light got more and more intense. It was their first time also, so this was one of those special moments and a memory that will last.
But also I must also say that I expected the light to be much more colourful. Later I read in some articles that this is the case more often than not, and usually the light isn’t nearly as clear and colourful as you see in the photographs. However, I was surprised how easily the sensor of the camera was picking up the green light. And I think that’s the main reason why you see so many amazing and beautiful photographs of the aurora borealis, full of colours. I don’t practice astrophotography, so making a shot was a bit trial and error, and there was no other option for me that to shoot our own cabin. But at least the memory is captured. And the cabin turned out to be by far the most comfortable one on our trip. So if you are looking for a spacious house in the golden circle that is also fully equipped, and for an acceptable price, I definitely recommend this one!
