Northern lights are best viewed from Iceland, Canada, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Alaska, Scotland and Greenland. Iceland is surely one of the most accessible places to view the elusive northern lights since it only takes 2.5 hrs to fly from Scotland, 3 hours from London, 3.5 hours from Frankfurt and 5.5 hours from New York.
On a clear night in winter you may experience the northern lights as soon as you‘re out of the terminal building at Keflavik International Airport 35 miles from Reykjavik.
Best time to view the northern lights is around midnight and the best place to view the northern lights is anywhere away from the city lights in Reykjavik.
Northern lights cannot be seen every night due to cloud cover, unfavourable magnetic field conditions or lack of solar activity. But man! When you do see the northern lights it is all worth it.
The 2013 winter season is forecasted to be particularly good for viewing.
Reykjavik Bike Tours offers private northern light tours in winter.
