Iceland’s location on the top of the world also ensures that it is among the very best places on the planet to see the northern lights or aurora borealis. These spectacular celestial wonders are commonly seen in Iceland from September to mid-April and are one of the top reasons for visiting Iceland outside of the bright summer months. Iceland´s rich supply of water is by far its most valuable natural resource, Iceland’s geothermal natural pools can be found all around the country. Because Iceland is situated just below the Arctic Circle, it is one of the only countries that the summer nights are bright with 24-hour daylight from mid-May to late July.
