The van eases out of Reykjavík, tail lights swallowed by a new, patient darkness. Around you the city hum retreats and the sky stretches, a black stage ready for an unpredictable actor. Your guide scans forecasts with the same steady focus as a captain watches weather at sea; tonight could mean a pale ribbon or a full, green curtain that spills across the horizon. Either way, the isolation of Reykjanes’ volcanic shore or the rift valley of Þingvellir gives the aurora room to perform.
