If you're planning a trip to Iceland and want to see the Northern Lights, the Northern Lights Observatory (Aurora Basecamp) is a must-visit. The site was designed specifically to help visitors increase their chances of having a successful and safe aurora viewing experience. Visitors who have had no luck hunting for the aurora on their own have shared that they wish they had visited the Basecamp at the start of their trip for a better idea of what to look for. The Basecamp is located in the Reykjanes Peninsula, which has the best opportunity for seeing the lights in the capital area, with clear skies and well-maintained access roads.
