Northern Lights are a bit like the weather, in that you can predict them to a degree but not precisely (just Google "aurora forecast"). They also ebb and flow in strength over 12 year cycles. My wife and I went to Iceland in March a few years back and saw some amazing auroras. They are awesome to see, especially the big and powerful ones. They shift and move around the sky like visible magnetic fields, just arcing wildly, fading and forming into view with those weird CGA monitor colors. Iceland in March was one of those amazing trips where you we drove to amazing and famous waterfalls and geysers and were always the only people there. We did the whole Ring Road around the island and the northern part of the country was so desolate we ate most of our meals at gas stations because there was literally nothing else open. Along the eastern coast we drove an entire day and saw only one car coming the other direction.
