We had high hopes for our Northern Lights by Boat tour this evening, as the forecast promised us completely clear skies only one hour into our tour. We sailed out on 2 of our boats, the Andrea and Rósin, and headed into the darkness of Kollafjörður with fingers crossed. Although we could see several stars […]
