How about a trip to Iceland in spring? Introduction to Iceland in Spring

Have you ever wondered what it's like to travel to Iceland in spring? Actually, it's good to travel to Iceland at this time. If you don't have any travel plans yet, let's take a look at the fun of going to Iceland with Bian Xiao in spring!

How about a trip to Iceland in spring?

There are not many Icelandic tourists in spring, and the accommodation is relatively cheap. Aurora may be seen in the middle and late April. Get excited later! The considerate LP deliberately took stock of the four extreme experiences of Icelandic spring: aurora, music festival, puffin and Lu!

Everyone is eager to see the true face of the Northern Lights. April in the off-season is not expensive. Of course, I'm going to Iceland, the holy land of Aurora, to realize my dream ~

Inuit believe that the Northern Lights are the souls of the dead; Scandinavian folklore describes them as the souls of unmarried women; Japanese believe that children born under these dancing lights will be lucky all their lives.

These magical colored curtains that pass through the northern night sky are the product of the solar wind. Seeing the Northern Lights on the The Bucket List of countless people, they will all arrive in Iceland, praying for good viewing conditions and eagerly looking up at the sky.

Where to find it? what do you think?

From mid-September to mid-April, you can see the Northern Lights in the clear and dark sky at any time. On a cloudless night in Wan Li, if you are lucky, you can see the Northern Lights. It's that simple.

Many tour companies offer "Northern Lights Tour" (by boat, jeep or coach). In fact, they just take you to a place with less light pollution and less clouds to increase your chances of seeing the Northern Lights.

Of course, you can go by yourself, but we don't recommend inexperienced drivers to chase the clear night sky in remote snow.

We suggest going to scenic spots outside Reykjavik, or booking a few nights in a country hotel, because many hotels will provide wake-up service so that you can see the Northern Lights in the middle of the night. It is worth noting that you can see the Northern Lights without going out of the city.

When the aurora is strong, it can be seen even in Reykjavik.

Aurora is almost impossible to predict, but there are various tools, applications and alarms to predict related solar activities. It can be inferred whether the aurora can be seen in a short time:

Comprehensive website of Icelandic Meteorological Bureau

(http://en.vedur.is/weather/forecasts/aurora) described the aurora activity, cloud cover, etc. So as to provide aurora prediction.

Iceland's position in pop music and rock music can not be underestimated. Someone once joked that half of Iceland is writing books and the other half is playing music.

Where to find it? When will you watch it?

The live music venue in Reykjavik is always changing. The best way is to check the free publication Reykjavik Gossip or its application, and check the current news and programs. If you can catch up with one of the many music festivals in this country when you travel, go!

Introduction to Iceland in Spring

The famous VESTMANNAEYJAR Islands have the largest auk habitat in the world. To the delight of birdwatchers and photographers, a large number of puffins (estimated at 6.5438+million) migrate during the breeding season, and their habitats are all over Iceland.

The jagged Westminster Islands consist of 15 small black islands along the southern coast. This archipelago was formed by submarine volcanic eruption about 1 1000 years ago. Except Sutherland, a new member of the archipelago, the other 14 islands stood out in 1963.

Heme Island is the only inhabited island, and it is also a bird-watching holy place worthy of puffin fans.

Stolfi (elevation122m) is a rocky peninsula, located at the southern tip of Hema Island. A narrow isthmus (formed by lava from Helga volcano 5,000 years ago) connects Stolfi with the mainland. From its top, you can see the magnificent scenery.

There is a small birdwatching hut halfway up the mountain. KervVikul Mountain and stakkabt are ideal places to watch puffins.

On the west coast, several dangerous paths meander to the steep slope around Herjlfsdalur, along the top of norklettur to stafnsnes, which is a major puffin breeding area. The uphill road is exciting, but there are also some steep downhill roads.

In ofanleitishamar, there are hundreds of puffins nesting on the cliffs.

Since the end of spring, one of the most beautiful highlights in Iceland is the flower of soldiers, which adds a little vitality to the cold in Iceland. Want to see Lu? You can't go to Wake Town!
