"A geothermal spa west of Reykjavík. The pleasure of watching the Kp while you warm up beside it — you don't go just for the aurora, but if the Kp is right it is unforgettable."

"On the black beach across from the lagoon, ice the waves have left on the shore. Where icebergs calved from the Vatnajökull glacier drift to the sea — a superb aurora foreground."

"The famous black basalt beach near Vík; the Reynisdrangar sea stacks and a clear southern horizon out over the Atlantic."

"Where the glacier tongues drop into the valley; on clear nights the curtain hangs above the ice."

"Before the basalt columns, a wide sky over the open Atlantic horizon."
