NASA has predicted that the northern lights will be at their most intense in over a decade. According to the NASA website, “Forecasters say Solar Max is due in the year 2013. When it arrives, the peak of the 11-year sunspot cycle will bring more solar flares, more coronal mass ejections, more geomagnetic storms and more auroras than we have experienced in quite some time.”
Icelandair is offering packages to experience the northern lights, starting at $689 per person. Icelandair’s Blue Lagoon & Northern Lights package includes roundtrip airfare on Icelandair, three nights hotel and an exclusive boat trip to search for the northern lights.
