Stokksnes Beach and the Aurora - a photo on Flickriver

Stokksnes Beach and the Aurora

Expect to see a photo or two from our recent trip to Iceland. This one is from Stokksnes Beach in the east of the country and the mountain Vestrahorn.

We arrived at the beach to find hundreds of photographers enjoying a fantastic sunset and we shot a few snaps while trying to avoid getting people in the shot. It was a clear night so we thought we would try one of the online sites to see what chances there were of seeing the northern lights - the KP scale was two. One by one the other photographers left the beach leaving us two and one other person.

After a few minutes we too left the beach but as we headed towards our AirBnB Becky spotted the lights so we sped back down to the beach.

So, the other person stayed in the dunes for the night while we had the beach to ourselves. The aurora started around 8 and we had to leave by 10.30 with the lights still in full flow.

The moon was very bright that evening so it lit us up pretty good for this selfie. Not a breath of wind for the only night of our two week stay. The other days we had minus 9 temperatures with heavy winds making the temperature feel like minus 17 to minus 20. You may hear more about that soon enough.
