- Can You See the Northern Lights in the Summer? The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, or norðrljós in Old Norse, are created by the solar wind (and the charged particles that come with it) interacting with the Earth’s magnetosphere. This is why they are mainly seen within the Arctic Circle.

- The Best Guide to Driving in Iceland Iceland, like most other countries, drives on the right side of the road. There are few one-lane bridges or one-way streets, but otherwise stick to the right. During icy or snowy weather you may be forced more central, so make sure you keep an eye out for oncoming traffic. The speed limits are written in km/h and are usually 50 km/h (31 mi/h) in urban areas, 80 km/h (49 mi/h) on gravel and 90 km/h (56 mi/h) on asphalt roads. Make sure that you stick to the limit, and there are many speed cameras across the country and there is a hefty fine if you break it.
