How to see the "Aurora of a Lifetime" in Iceland?

After living in Iceland for many years, I'm used to seeing the aurora. 🥹 If you are coming to Iceland for the first time and want to see the "Aurora of a Lifetime", be sure to read this guide carefully. 1️⃣Two elements of the aurora: No clouds, aurora index above 2 (highest level is 9) If the aurora index is between 2-4, the sky will show a green aurora; If it exceeds 4, the sky will show green, red, and purple aurora. The aurora seen with the naked eye is grayish. 2️⃣Best position for shooting the aurora National parks, waterfalls and other areas far away from city lights. All the above photos were taken in national parks. 3️⃣Travel method Self-driving or join a local aurora group. 4️⃣Shooting skills Mobile phone shooting: exposure time is set to 10-30 seconds, use a tripod to stabilize or hold the mobile phone, and the mobile phone must not be moved during shooting; Camera shooting: adjust ISO according to light, generally exposure time is 10 seconds. I wish everyone can see the "Aurora of a Lifetime" when they come to Iceland!
