[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone been at a time other than summer? Curious about traveling there at other times of year. [/quote]

I have been many times and only winter months (December, January, March). It is VERY windy and not safe to drive a rental car as the weather is unpredictable and weather apps are worthless. You can use the Iceland weather service site for forecasts but still unpredictable beyond three days out. Northern Lights tours are a bit of a scam because they will take you out even if they know the showing will be weak. They only cancel for clouds or precipitation.  You can use the Icelandic weather site to lookup the kp index which is a good indicator of a sighting. I’d say it’s better to go hunting in Fall for milder weather.  Reykjavik is great in winter. Cafe Loki has great Icelandic food. The south shore is beautiful but Vik beach is dangerous and many tourists have walked too close to the water and only to be pulled in and drown. Icelandic weather and nature can be dangerous for tourists during winter. Splurge on a Super Jeep private tour if you go.[/quote]
