Northern lights tonight in Iceland

Iceland sits at about 69° magnetic latitude, so the aurora reaches it from roughly Kp 0.0 — most clear dark nights. The card below reads NOAA's oval, tonight's dark hours, the cloud and the Moon for Þingvellir right now.

Iceland sits under the oval at 65–69° magnetic latitude, so the aurora is there on any dark clear night from September to March with no storm required — Kp 2 is a display, Kp 4 is overhead and moving. The question in Iceland is only ever cloud, and the island makes its own: a front crossing from the south-west can clear the north coast while Reykjavík is under it, which is why the forecast here reads the pin's cloud, not the country's. Þingvellir is forty minutes from the capital and dark; Kirkjufell is the photograph everyone has seen; Jökulsárlón's icebergs reflect the sky and are four hours east.
