At 9pm (21:00 in Iceland time) we drove to Hotel Viking where we met our first driver of the night, a very friendly guy who drove us to the central meeting point for Reykjavik Excursions, where we boarded another van with a few other folks (two of who were repeaters from not seeing the Northern Lights the night prior) and we headed out to a dark area a bit outside of Reykjavik. It was very cold and we were very bundled.....
One word: AMAZING!!!! Out of dozens of photos - a few......
The Northern Lights were across the entire sky and moving. (Tried to get video, but we were not successful.) They lasted about 1 1/2 - 2 hours, and we were VERY cold (even with the hot cocoa provided).
We were back to the Airbnb about midnight and even though we had been on a van, bus, and our car - all with heat - we were freezing! We were very thankful for our heavy down comforters.
