Auora Borialis in Iceland

Getting to see the Northern Lights was always a part of my bucket list and I was so happy and lucky to see them multiple times. The first night that we arrived, they graced us with their presence and danced a bit for us. Below are some of our best shots:
We also saw them on our first night at Sonar right outside the Harpa and over the harbor. It was kinda special to see them in the city so close. I almost wish we left the event to go hunt them outside away from lights. We went hunting for them on our last night and were able to see them. We pulled over to the shoulder to watch the show and ended bottoming out in the snow bank (deeper than we thought) even with a four wheel drive! Luckily we pulled over two cars, the first tried to help us find a tow, and the second was able to tow us. Which was amazing and utterly saved the day, but funny part was that it was the chef from our first hotel; they remembered us too! Thankfully people in Iceland are incredibly nice and helpful. Now I only wish the lights looked as vivid in real life as they do in the pictures!
