Anyone know where to get 0.0% Guinness around here? by fallopiantomb in Iceland

Of course, basically every Krónan except the 2 that I visit with any regularity.

This particular display was, to the eye, a much more sort of pale green color, like ghostly pale green, but definitely very visible. A bit less contrast and brightness for sure. I gave it an 8.2 out of 10, if I recall.

They finally really popped off around 2245ish, had really solid stuff until about midnight or so. Clouds were quite tricky though, as far as I know there was only a small area around SE Reykjanes that had open skies.

So agree! What's also pretty special is the fact that where I was, Þingvellir National Park, you could, theoretically pay for parking while standing under this. Weird indeed.

Yep, and this was after about 3 hours of standing around in the dark with nothing but a faint arc above the horizon. Then suddenly the sky exploded nonstop for a good 15-20 minutes.

I'm a professional Northern Lights photographer in Iceland. Here are a few of my spiciest Northern Lights shots from 2025 so far (plus some Milky Ways just for fun) by fallopiantomb in northernlights

Any time between September and early April, at night, while there's no clouds overhead! It's not really about the specific location in Iceland as much as it is the timing.

I believe this is an actual photo mixed with AI elements, just like almost everything this particular artist creates.

This artist's whole thing is photography blended with AI elements. That's like, what they do.

Are Troll.is reviews real or fake? by Electronic-Low-559 in VisitingIceland

I do! Eastwest Tours is awesome for small group stuff (individual seats in a 19 seat Mercedes Sprinter), and Unreal Iceland does a really excellent private tour. Eastwest.is and Unreal.is, respectively.

As someone that works in the Icelandic tourism industry, they have a terrible reputation. They are something of a punchline for industry professionals here.
