Iceland is a country of sharp contrasts. A place where fire and ice co-exists. Where dark winter are offset by the summer's midnight sun. A country where insular existence has spurred a rich and vibrant culture.
The aurora Borealis takes its name from the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north wind, Boreas. From September to April, Iceland is a hotspot for this magnificent lightshow.
The Aurora Borealis, more commonly referred to as the Northern Lights is a natural phenomenon created when particles emitted by the sun interacts with the atmosphere in the Earth's magnetic field, This releases energy, causing peculiar luminous green streaks across the skies.
When making a trip to Iceland, it is hard not to pay special attention to the country's namesake-namely, its 4,500 square miles of glacier. Ice climbing on the glaciers is a practice year-around and takes place mainly on the Sólheimajökull and Snæfellsjökull glaciers in the south of Iceland, to which day trips are offered fro Reykjavík (and Skaftafell)
