Capture the once-in-a-lifetime spectacle of the Northern Lights and a volcanic eruption.

Northern Lights: Reykjavik is located in the southwest of Iceland, within the Northern Lights belt. In winter nights, when the sky is clear, the Northern Lights can often be seen dancing above the city or the wilderness and mountains around the city. As Iceland has a small population, light pollution can be almost ignored in places far away from Reykjavik, such as the Reykjanes Peninsula. The natural environment here is primitive and pure, providing excellent conditions for viewing the Northern Lights. Volcano: Iceland itself is a country with frequent volcanic activities, and there are some volcanoes near Reykjavik. Among them, Haukadalur Valley is a famous geothermal area with geysers and is also a region with active volcanic activities. Tourists can see traces of volcanic landforms, such as volcanic craters, hot springs, and sulfur lands. In addition, although the nearby Katla Volcano is dormant, its potential threat always reminds people of the powerful force of Icelandic volcanoes, and the surrounding scenery is also unique due to volcanic activities.
