Natural Wonders of Iceland

Chasing the Northern Lights (aurora borealis)

After a lovely Icelandic dinner comprised of roasted lamb and salmon with dill sauce and potatoes, we took off into the night sky to try to catch the nortern lights. 

It is a bit like a ghost chase to be honest. Even in sparsely populated Iceland it is a challenge to find a dark spot without lhyman made light pollution. We are also hampered a bit but the near full moon illuminating the night sky. 


Nevertheless, we eventually found a spot and got to witness this natural phenomenon live and in person. It is hard to describe the experience in words. One has to see it in person and our group had the chance to do it tonight. 

AMAZING!!!!!

As a World traveler and trains, planes, & automobile geek, I have embraced every opportunity to explore this amazing planet. As I write this, I realized vividly how far I have come from growing up in a dysfunctional family in a small Swiss town to living in the San Francisco Bay Area with my husband Greg and our pets Stella and Oscar. I am very fortunate to live the American Dream, having made a career our of my passion for travel and tourism.
