Heads up aurora chasers in #Iceland! Weather looks good for many areas & if current solar wind conditions persist, we're in for lovely #northernlights tonight. Get your cameras ready and watch the sky from twilight (8:30 pm or so) tonight. Check the cloud cover forecast and data on icelandatnight.is

Chasing aurora mostly depends on the local weather. Iceland at Night website now not only features the most accurate cloud cover forecast by the Icelandic Met Office, but two satellite views in near real time. An extremely useful feature for aurora chasers in Iceland. Check it out!

Last night was quiet, as expected. We saw faint aurora that got slightly brighter throughout the night, as seen in the image taken from Geysir area. Tonight will likely be very similar. Clear skies in many places. Keep an eye on the cloud cover forecast and space weather data on our website.

Wow! Our cloud cover, space weather and local magnetic data helped Maria Miranda and her friends catch the #NorthernLights from lake Mývatn in northeast #Iceland just after 11 pm tonight. Absolutely stunning!

Openings expected in the cloud cover tonight in multiple locations in west & north #Iceland. A decent #aurora display is definitely a possibility so keep your eyes on the data and the sky from roughly 10:30 👀

Last night sure did not disappoint! 😍

Beautiful lights were seen in many places. And tonight looks very promising too for the majority of Iceland.

📸 Erynne Daigneault Feury send us these beautiful images from last night taken close to Jökulsárlón (Glacier lagoon). Thank you for sharing!

Stargazing feast in 🇮🇸 on August 12 next year:

Last night (August 9) in Iceland. Beautiful Northern Lights can be seen in deep twilight, shortly after midnight. This bodes well for those brave enough to travel for the eclipse next year.
