There was some nice aurora with tall rays visible as early as 18:15 UTC this evening. However, I wasn’t able to get out with the camera until 20:00, by which time the activity had decreased to leave several weak bands extending low across the northern sky but not too much moveme

By 21:30 UTC this evening there was a nice well-defined arc of aurora developing across the northern sky. It quickly expanded into multiple bands of dancing aurora that flickered across the sky (Images 1 and 2). The activity stayed relatively low down across the northern horizon at ≤4

I flew from Keflavik this evening, and not long after takeoff I could see a weak aurora along the horizon as we headed south (20:03 to 20:35 UTC). It was very difficult to take photographs out of the window due to the angle and the flashing lights on the aircraft wings, so unfortunate

There was a very strong geomagnetic storm in progress this evening, and as a consequence the aurora was visible even in the twilight at dusk and before it was fully dark (Images 1 to 5: high in the sky to the north). The aurora quickly moved directly overhead in a narrow band (Images

A brighter arc of aurora in the northern sky tonight compared to my last few sightings, visible from around 21:15 and glowing throughout at least the next hour. This aurora was a vivid green by eye and on camera, but lacked the purple top of the previous few nights. Every night is dif

Another nice but very low aurora in the north this evening. A little bit frustrating to have these very small auroras while the sky is so clear, but c’est la vie! As last night, the green arc of aurora had a clear purple top on camera. Image 1. 21:41 UTC. Settings = f/2.8, 14 mm

A small aurora for Halloween! First seen low in the north at 20:40, and the activity stayed as a low arc across the northern sky for the duration. However, as well as the green arc that was visible by eye, there was also a nice band of purple along the top of the aurora on camera. Ima

There was a better-than-expected show this evening, with a high arc visible after 20:30 and turning into a pretty strong and active aurora over the following hour with some active dancing curtains and pinks to the naked eye. The activity was generally pretty low in the north, but we h

Aurora was visible this evening from at least 21:00, although it was a weak one! A low green arc in the north, which I was only able to see for a short while before the low clouds above the mountains obscured it. Image 1. 22:09 UTC. Settings = f/2.8, 14 mm, 8.3 sec. Back to top of pag

I returned to Iceland this evening after a quick trip away. My window seat on the starboard side of the plane offered a good view to the north, and I spent much of the flight watching a weak low aurora arc. Just goes to show that even when the statistics suggest almost no aurora, ther
