This northern lights session was shot while staying in these great tiny cabins in Egilsstaðir. The forecast for the night, which you can get at vedur.is, said the night would be bad for aurora due to high clouds but on this night we were pleasantly surprised. A note about weather forecasts in Iceland: Iceland has notoriously unpredictable and extreme weather; in our experience cloud cover predictions were generally right except for the timing. Fast and slow winds would often bring expected cloud systems far ahead or behind of schedule. We got lucky on this night with some great lights above our cabins for about four hours off and on, varying in strength until about three AM or 0300 (Iceland mostly runs on 24 hours clocks). If you look to the bottom left there's a red-orange glow; that's actually from the lava fields, which are active right now!
