What I found most difficult to get used to was the lack
of daylight. You see in Iceland for two to three months
of the year, there is continuous daylight, but from
November to January there is an intensely dark period
with only 2 to 3 hours of daylight per day. However, the
breathtaking experience of seeing the Aurora Borealis,
or Northern Lights, made up for this state of almost
total darkness. This is a spectacular sight which you can
admire especially well in Iceland on cold, clear nights
from September to March. The sky lights up with many
different colours caused by the interaction of particles
from the sun with the earth’s magnetic field
