No need to waste time posting anything about the Northern Lights tonight. We saw nothing! The lights forecast was actually quite good for tonight (Tuesday 1/19).....but our tour group failed to find them. This Northern Lights tour was included in our Iceland travel package through Gate 1. We had our fingers crossed, but we knew we were spoiled on our SuperJeeps tour last night. The good news is we have the option to go out again later this week with the tour group since we didn't see them tonight.
I do want to throw this picture into the blog (above). This is what they call the Carpet of Diamonds around Iceland. Click on the picture to enlarge the view. You can actually see the snow sparkle everywhere you look. All around us in the pitch black darkness of night.....you can see the ground sparkling. No lights, but lots of diamonds tonight in Iceland.
After 3 straight nights searching for the Northern Lights.....Jenesa and I are absolutely pooped! We have been averaging roughly 4 hours of sleep for the past few nights before we're off and running for another full day of adventure. No worries! We have another long travel day tomorrow to the South Coast of Iceland, and then plan to relax on Thursday to eat more food (and maybe sleep in!).
