Aurora Borealis Time Lapse

Here I will post timelapse videos from our tours with a bit of information on each one.

The most recent video is at the top of the page, hope you enjoy 🙂

Leirvogur

Short video from the night of 02.02.2016.

That night it did not matter which direction we looked, there were northern lights everywhere!

Here is an example of the view for the 3 hours we were on location 🙂

Skálafell Aurora

The forecast for tonight had shown a very small chance to see aurora but the skies were so clear that we had to give it a shot.

On the way we saw the lights even in the city so we rushed north of Reykjavik to Skálafell, a ski resort north of Reykjavik.

There we saw an amazing show for a good hour in -12°C before jumping back in the warm 4×4 🙂

Botnssúlur

Video from a photography tour on the night of december 11th 2015

We found a nice spot away from all traffic and spent hours enjoying the northern lights dancing in the sky 🙂

In this video we have 1.5 hours of activity shown in 1 minute.

Skies on fire

Video from a northern lights photography tour on november 18 2015.

This is just a small sample of what we saw on the night but gives a good sample of what to expect when everything falls to place: dark, clear skies and plenty of activity from the sun.

Lights arriving to Reykjavik city

In the start of this 2015/16 season we have had some spectacular shows already and it’s still August!

I took the chance to set up outside the city and made a time-lapse video, 1.5 hour like last time but this time its only 39 seconds long.

I hope this is just the beginning and much more will follow this season, happy hunting 🙂

Harpa Concert Hall

Here is a 3.5 minute video I made from 1650 photos taken over a 1.5 hour period in the beginning of february 2015.

In the foreground you see Harpa, the biggest concert hall and conference centre in Reykjavik.

This night had the perfect conditions, strong enough northern lights to see them in the city lights and almost no clouds 🙂

Hellisheiði

Aurora Borealis dancing in the sky on Hellisheiði in south Iceland on the night of 11.10.2015.

Quick sample from a much longer timelapse captured in that evening.
