Credo che sia l’unico posto sufficientemente buio restando a Reykjavík per poter ammirare l’’aurora boreale. Ovviamente servono delle condizioni meteo favorevole e un buon indice kp.
La destinazione è generalmente affollata e non è sempre semplice trovare posteggio, ma con un po’ di pazienza lo spettacolo ripaga l’attesa

March 2024 review:

We drove here after all dinners in the capital and luckily were able to see the northern lights twice!! Easy 10-15 minute drive from downtown, crazy how close to the city you can view them!

I will note this place gets CRAZY packed at certain times so try and navigate with caution. If you’re a poor driver, try to take an uber or group transportation.

A nice walk from the city centre obviously prepare for the weather to change every 15 minutes! We had Sunshine, Snow, windy too calm in less than an hour, go at low tide (a notice provides the current months times) to access the lighthouse. Allow a good few hours if walking there and back. Parking is there, the lighthouse is not wheelchair accessible but the rest of the area is flat like the walk from the city centre.

This is one of the places in Reykjavik where you can see the famous northern lights during the season where it appears. I was here in June, so didn’t see northern lights. However, this place can make for breathtaking sunset views and photos, especially in summer where the sun sets very late. Some of these photos were taken between 10:30 and 11pm in June, which makes for quite unique views and photos, videos and panoramas.
However, if you are coming here late in the evening, bring blankets and warm material because it is quite cold in this area, even in the summer season.
If you want to see the northern lights, there is a season where it appears, best to look it up before deciding to see the famous northern lights.

Als je geen tijd/geld/energie hebt om een echte tour te doen, is dit een heel goed alternatief om binnen Reykjavik de kans te hebben het Noorderlicht te zien. Wat wel absoluut stom was, is dat heel veel mensen (net als wij) in hun blinde enthousiasme hierheen zijn gereden en voor je het weet, zit je allemaal vast met de auto. Dit is zonde van je tijd en het licht van kerende auto’s (als je al de kans had om te keren) hielp niet het zicht (lichtvervuiling). Doe jezelf een plezier en parkeer in de wijk ervoor en loop een stukje. We hebben een hele lichte witte waas Noorderlicht gezien op een dag dat de Aurora app 80% kans aangaf op die plek. Toen we met de auto eindelijk uit de drukte waren gekomen, zijn we even langs te weg gestopt bij een bushalte in de buurt. Daar zagen we plotseling een echt stukje Noorderlicht. Heel cool! Dus het kan wel, maar wees een beetje voorbereid.
PS: onze ogen zien minder Noorderlicht dan camera’s. Dus het kan zijn dat je het niet of nauwelijks ziet, maar het is er wel. Vooral met een goeie camera/camera instelling kan je meer auroralicht vangen. Onze telefooncamera stond niet helemaal goed ingesteld dus de foto’s zijn wazig, maar je kan wel zien dat het licht er was.

The location is good to try to see the Aurora lights however I’m due to a lot of parked cars with open lights on. It can be difficult however it is for free and you can just go park and see your lights there. Can only recommend it maybe go a bit late.

Maybe we were very lucky, but throughout all our stay in iceland we did not get to see the northern lights. On our last night, in Reykjavik, we came to this northern lights view point and we were not disappointed, the show was amazing.
It can get really crowded though, some people can’t drive and leave their lights on, however if you get close to the sea and away from the parking lot car and city lights, you should be good.
Free parking, mid march visit.

Mooi punt! Helaas geen Noorderlicht gezien, het was nog te licht om 00:30u ‘s nachts. Veel mensen laten hun koplampen aan, dat is jammer.

Great spot, never imagined I’d be able to see this kind of beauty 😍😍.
However thanks to some other tourists 🇨🇳 the sky was polluted by drones. So please refrain from using these devices and having your car turned on when spotting aurora.
