The Northern Lights are a major draw in Iceland but weather conditions mean visitors aren’t always able to catch the night-time light-show. It makes sense to maximize your chances – and one tour company has a novel way to help visitors ensure they catch every last glimmer. The Aurora Explorer campervan, offered by Cozy Campers, features a panoramic sunroof that allows visitors to gaze up at the sky from their bed.

The 4WD campervan comes with large windows and the aforementioned sunroof (which can be opened) for when you want to let the world in, and blackout curtains for when you don’t. It also features a gas stove, sink and fridge, and can sleep up to three.

“We thought this would be an epic way to see the Northern Lights, and sure enough, people love it,” Cozy Campers CEO Birkir Már Benediktsson told Ice News. “I admit it was a bit daunting standing in front of a brand-new car, saw in hand, planning on making a huge hole on the top of it. But when you lie under the panoramic roof under a warm blanket with the Aurora dancing over your head, it all makes sense,” Birkir says.
