The Northern Lights are elusive - the Sun has to be a bit frisky, coinciding with more or less clear skies, not very reliable in Iceland. It is best not to expect too much. This is like when you have misplaced something: The best course of action (after you have searched everywhere) is to simply stop looking! Before you know it, you will stumble across the "lost" object. The Northern lights are a bit like that. Great expectations usually lead to great disappointment. I have lived in Iceland most of my life and the Northern Lights are a very fickle phenomenon. Absolutely breathtaking when they happen but nothing to build a schedule around.
October - ideal b/c tourist season wrapping up, good weather (not guarateed of course), and northn lights came out a few times! Maybe late Sept is safer weather-wise.
@@Bigmoney703 yup point taken.... sometimes I'm not sure folks understand how much goes into making all these vids... so I can get defensive at times. Anyway fair to point out... I shouldn't have links that don't work. Peace

I hope to be able to explore as you. I hope I can afford it. 😢😅
The huts we stayed in were super cheap - great option if you can live w-out fancy!
