Step out of Reykjavík as the city lights shrink behind the rear window and the countryside opens into broad, frozen plains and distant mountain silhouettes. The night air is sharp; your guide scans live aurora and cloud forecasts, steering past sodium-lit towns toward pockets of black sky. Stops are deliberate — short walks onto quiet fields, warm blankets handed out, hot chocolate steaming against the cold — while the sky teases and, sometimes, erupts in slow-green curtains.
