Iceland is known for its beautiful natural phenomenon, the Northern Lights. The Aurora Borealis are created when electrically charged particles from solar winds interact with Earth's upper atmosphere and emit colorful lights in an arc-shape that resemble rippling water across the sky. If you plan to visit Iceland during winter or early spring, be sure to book accommodations at dark places away from city lights where northern light displays can best be seen!
