This was my first evening ever witnessing the northern lights! After a week long trip exploring the beauties of Iceland, the clouds finally cleared up on our last night, revealing the Lady in Green. #adventure
Beautiful. Just on the side of the road... They did some trails so you can walk about. Nice little place to relax.

Seeing Aurora Borealis should be on everyones #bucketlist, it is one of the craziest phenomena I have ever witnessed. Visiting Iceland you have a window of time to see the #northernlights dance across the sky, out of our 10 day trip we were lucky enough to see them in their full glory on the last night. This campsite was a great place to stay and explore the nearby areas while watching the lights. #lifeatexpediagroup
