RE: Seeing the Northern Lights in Lapland

I went to Iceland about 6 years ago and the person I was with was intent on seeing the lights. Unfortunately, the weather across 10 entire days was unsuitable to see them, so most tours were cancelled. Some small private tours would accept people, but said it was highly unlikely that the lights would show through the clouds. I didn't really know what I was missing, but these shots show it. The cool thing at the end of the trip as a consolation prize was the IcelandicAir plane's isle lights turning into Northern Lights when the main lights were off. That was the closest we got. I hear that you can see them in Canada too.

“ The cool thing at the end of the trip as a consolation prize was the IcelandicAir plane's isle lights turning into Northern Lights when the main lights were off.” haha 😂 damn that’s a slap in the face. But yea, it’s random, a few things has to fall in place to see it, and you guys were really unlucky because I heard Iceland is great for seeing the northern lights. But it has some awesome nature to see as well, did you enjoy the trip ?

Yea the northern lights should be possible to see in Canada as well for sure. Basically any place close to the northern pole. There is actually also southern lights, but only the penguins in Antarctic gets to see those or the mad scientist that live out there studying the ice !
