Catching the Aurora borealis, or the northern lights as most commonly known, can sometimes be difficult. Seeing them is highly rewarding, though, and the chase after them can be highly enjoyable. The search for the northern lights might be made easier by the aurora forecast from the Icelandic Meteorological Office.
If you have a true passion for the heavenly displays of the northern lights, you will be interested in taking a look at the northern lights center called Aurora Reykjavik, which will open in the center of Reykjavik in mid-May. The museum will have several dimensions. It will put the northern lights in the context of Icelandic culture and folk tales and explain the science behind this incredible natural wonder. But I suppose most will be most interested in the multimedia representation of the northern lights that the museum will offer. Without giving too much away, the northern lights will be projected and represented in a cool auditorium. The adjective cool is appropriate, as it will be climate-controlled for extra realism.
How to get there
The Aurora Reykjavik will be located on Grandagardur 2, just by the Reykjavik harbor.
