The Northern Lights Center in Reykjavík, Reykjavík

Because of its proximity to the Arctic Circle, Iceland is one of the best countries in the world to view the Northern Lights. This natural phenomenon, known as Aurora Borealis, continues to fascinate visitors every winter when Iceland's limited daylight makes it even more common to witness the show. Located in Reykjavík, you can visit Aurora Reykjavík: The Northern Lights Center before you set off into the winter countryside searching for the Aurora Borealis.

The museum was once the dream of four individuals, all passionate about the Northern Lights. Together, they've scoured the Earth in search of this dancing light show, culminating their experiences and knowledge into an exciting exhibition. You'll pass through interactive exhibits that reveal the history and secrets of this phenomenon. Watch videos of auroral displays from across Iceland and enjoy a workshop detailing how to capture the light show on camera.
