When is the best season to watch the aurora in Iceland?

The best seasons to see the aurora in Iceland are January to March and June to September, but the best time to go to Iceland actually depends on the travel demand. For various reasons, Iceland is a popular holiday destination all year round.

Iceland is near the Arctic Circle, but because of the influence of warm current, it has a temperate maritime climate, which is neither too cold in winter nor too hot in summer. Iceland has different scenery in different seasons. The best tourist season is from January to March and from June to September every year. When you come to Iceland from January to March, you can enjoy hunting, skating and some thrilling games here. At this time, Iceland has been covered with ice and snow.

September-April is the aurora season in Iceland, and most aurora groups have been in operation since September. But September to April is not all winter in Iceland, and it can be subdivided.

April, May, September and October are called transition seasons. The sunshine and temperature are better than those in winter, so it is not easy to be affected by the weather.

November-March is a good time to observe the aurora, and Lan Bing Cave will be opened in this season, but the sunshine is short, the temperature is low, and the snow is heavy, so it is not suitable for driving.

to see the northern lights, you must first be in the dark, and you must also have a clear sky in Wan Li-at least you can't hide the sky with thick clouds. Otherwise, the clouds will block your view-the aurora appears at an altitude of about 8km to 64km, and the high clouds are only about 6km above sea level.
