How about a trip to Iceland in spring?

Have you ever thought about what it's like to travel in Iceland in spring? In fact, it is very appropriate to travel to Iceland at this time. If you haven't made any travel plans, let's take a look at the fun of going to Iceland in spring with Bian Xiao!

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! Intimate and kind LP specially took stock of the four extreme experiences of Icelandic spring-aurora, music festival, puffin and Lu!

Spring Tour Iceland Raiders Aurora Everyone is eager to see the true meaning of the Northern Lights. Taking advantage of the off-season in April is not too 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; The 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 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, with a little luck, 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 an area with less light pollution and less cloud cover 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 the 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 leaving the city.

When the aurora is very strong, you can even see it in Reykjavik.

Aurora is almost unpredictable, but there are various tools, applications and alarms that can predict related solar activities, from which it can be inferred whether aurora can be seen in the short term:

Comprehensive website of Icelandic Meteorological Bureau

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

VESTMANNAEYJAR is a striking archipelago with the largest auk habitat in the world. To the delight of birdwatchers and photographers, a large number of puffins (estimated at 6.5438+million) will migrate during the breeding season, and puffins live all over Iceland.

The jagged Westminster Islands consist of 15 small black islands on the south coast. This archipelago was formed by submarine volcanic eruption about 1. 1 ten thousand years ago. Except for Surtsey Island, a new member of the archipelago, all the other 14 islands stand out in 1.963.

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

There is a small birdwatching cabin halfway up the mountain, and Kerví Vikul Mountain and stakkabót are ideal places to watch puffins.

On the west coast, several dangerous paths meander to the steep slopes around Herjólfsdalur, along the top of Noreklettur 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.
