If you are on the hunt for the northern lights your window of opportunity is tonight in the south and west of Iceland.

According to the Icelandic Met Office (IMO) we can expect at least partly clear skies in the south and southwest and high aurora activity. Put together that equals very promising conditions for northern lights sightings.
