Greetings all. A while back I had asked questions on here regarding aurora, aurora chasing, Iceland weather and other Iceland travel related questions. It's taken a while, but I have finally finished editing all of my Iceland photos, and the Aurora photos I took.
The trip was an amazing success. I saw the lights on the flight over, which was very cool. We arrived just as a stream from a large coronal hole hit sparking Kp5 storms that very night. We were in Gullfoss where the sky lit up brilliantly before clouding over. On the South side of the Island, I heard that it was clear all night. You never know what you'll get in Iceland.
The next night in Kirjufell, I spent a few hours shooting the mountain. The aurora was visible and present, but not like the night before. That is, until I got back to my air BnB a little North of Kirkjufell, where the sky erupted in one of the most awesome displays imaginable. It was the last night of good display. I saw the lights again, but later in the week they would be obscured mostly by clouds.
The Northern lights have tainted me. I once thought the Milky Way from a dark sky site, such as the one at Spruce Knob, WV, that I go to yearly was the most amazing thing. Aurora is by far the most amazing visual experience I have ever had, and it has left me thirsty for more. I learned so much shooting while I was there, I want another go at it, and another.
At any rate, I'm rambling. Here are the photos: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmrWafuS
