Step out of Reykjavík and into a long Arctic night where the sky itself becomes the attraction. On this jeep-led Northern Lights tour you’re driven from the city’s sodium glow into black countryside; mountains and lava fields pass like silhouettes while the guide scans the heavens for the aurora’s first flutter. When the lights come, the sky moves—green curtains fold, then spill, daring you to look up.
