I planned a van trip during the last days of October and the first ones of November with the goal of chasing the Northern Lights as an amateur astrophotographer. After two cloudy days, I spent the night of October 31st at Vestrahorn and had the privilege of experiencing a completely cloudless night paired with beautiful aurora activity.

On this third day, after enjoying the auroras at Vestrahorn, we headed to the Eystrahorn mountain!

We left at 1:15 AM, and after a 45-minute drive, we arrived at the mountain. We tried parking at several spots to find the best one, but it was hard to judge in the dark since we hadn’t scouted the area earlier. Eventually, we took an old dirt road leading to the lighthouse, where we parked the van.

On foot, we set out to find a small frozen lake we had spotted online. The area turned out to be much larger than expected, and with only headlamps to guide us, it was easy to get lost. The terrain quickly turned into a marsh with tall grass and water underneath. After getting stuck a few times, we gave up on finding the lake and headed toward the shoreline instead, which worked just fine.

Although the auroras were still visible all around, they were losing their structure and growing weaker in the photos. We stayed just long enough to capture a panorama before heading back to the Vestrahorn parking lot to spend the night, with unforgettable images in our minds.

The Breathtaking Northern Lights Panorama over Eystrahorn, Iceland

As the world’s northernmost capital, Reykjavik, whispers its tales of natural wonders, the tiny village of Skaftasandur quietens the urban chaos. Tucked away in the heart of South Iceland, this rustic hamlet offers an unparalleled perspective on one of the world’s most spectacular spectacles – the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis. And, does the landscape deliver! On this particular night, a once-in-a-blue-moon phenomenon unfolded, casting an ethereal glow upon the rolling black sand dunes of Eystrahorn, transforming this already breathtaking neck of land into a breathtaking work of art.

Auroral Bliss

On a winter evening, around 10 pm, the darkness is illuminated by an unprecedented display of celestial fireworks. The Northern Lights, fueled by solar winds and magnetic fields, dance across the Icelandic sky, their vibrant colors undulating like wisps of cotton candy suspended between the moon and the earth. As the aurora’s gentle latticework drifts across the horizon, a Painting of pure majesty unfurls. Eystrahorn’s windswept dunes, once aligned with the swirling patterns of the polar lights, begin their waltz with the night sky, in a mesmerizing waltz of light and darkness.

The Remote, yet Vast Expanse of Eystrahorn

Perched on the edge of the vast, glacially-carved, sand dunes of Eystrahorn, Skaftasandur, sits like a tiny rock amidst the fury of the Atlantic. Its isolation belies the panoramic vistas of glinting ice fields, rising mere miles from the village’s meager houses, and the ostensible drama of the aurora above. Yet, here, far from the crystalline lagoons of Vatnajökull, or the rumbling cataracts of Gullfoss, the combo of sand and tufted bluffs mastering the shape of the land, leaving an impression akin to standing on the crumpled edge of the world’s tooling premiere. As if the frozen hands of the Tormundur, Jökulsdalsbæjarn sjámi, strewn the loose sands with an insistent curse, where every glacier of spectral impression that geared spine-chilling is gone in gloomy mists.

In the Footsteps of Whispers of Ancient Volcanic Eruptions

Skaftasandur, though seemingly tiny by far-flung Iceland’s standards, is part of the brooding legacy of fiery graves, whose Herculean legacy lingers from the rain-soaked hills until these present-day high plains. Fractured ice floes disguised as spooked caverns prowl until solstice like bloodthirsty tigers of an alternate dimension calling forth eye-catching night predators to parliament.
