โI lived in Iceland for a couple of years as a kid (my dad was in the US military), and I can remember once putting on a full-body snowsuit along with my younger brother, and lying on top of the snow in front of our house just to watch the northern lights. It was like watching a colorful curtain hanging from space, gently moving in a breeze. I must've been ten or eleven years old.โ
โOn my most recent trip to Iceland, I saw the Northern Lights for the first time and it was INCREDIBLE! As amazing as the lights look in photos, nothing will prepare you for seeing such an overwhelmingly beautiful sight in person.โ
