For those who reside in Iceland, they know to expect the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights to be visible anytime between September and May. However, due to a combination of high solar-particle activity and clear skies this past week on the 25th of September, the viewing conditions were unusually perfect. So perfect, that all lights in Central Reykjavik, Iceland, were ordered to be turned off for an hour.
Experience the magic yourself. Sit back, relax, and get lost in the whimsical dance of the gleaming lights in the video clip below.
A countless number of photos of the lights were shared throughout social media channels as well. Check out some of the photos below!
