Aurora season in Iceland has begun. See tonight's chance of northern lights and where the sky is clear. With Pro, get a notification when a camera sees aurora. Iceland at Night tells you when and where to look for the northern lights in Iceland. See tonight's chance of aurora and where the sky is clear, then watch the sky live from aurora cameras. The app comes from the team behind icelandatnight.is. Sævar Helgi Bragason is an astronomy educator, has presented science programs on RÚV, and co-wrote the book Iceland at Night. Gísli Már Árnason is an astrophotographer who leads stargazing at Hótel Rangá. Both have watched the night sky over Iceland for decades. Tonight's outlook Open the app and read the chance of aurora in Iceland tonight and in the next two hours, in plain words. The outlook reads live solar wind data and the magnetic readings at the Leirvogur Magnetic Observatory near Reykjavík. The map Start on a globe with the aurora oval. Zoom in to Iceland for hour-by-hour cloud cover, recent satellite images, and the weather at towns and sights around the country. Drag back through the night to see how the oval moved, or ahead to see where the clouds go. Weather warnings from the Icelandic Met Office show at the top of the map. Aurora cameras Watch the sky live from aurora cameras in Iceland. Each night becomes a timelapse, so you can replay a night you slept through and save the nights you like. Free notifications Get a notification when tonight looks good, when the chance of aurora rises for the next two hours, or when NOAA issues a geomagnetic alert. NOAA notifications come at most once a night. Iceland at Night Pro Pro sends a notification when an aurora camera you follow sees aurora in the sky. It also sends an "Aurora now" notification as soon as the magnetic readings in Iceland show aurora activity rising. Pick the week pass for your trip: 7 days of Pro that do not renew.
