Hunting For Northern Lights - Unsuccessfully

 Here are some shots of the lovely little town of Holmavik, our first stop in Iceland. My son and I were so pumped to see Northern Lights, and, of course, saw none. By all the indicators it was an absolutely epic week for seeing Northern Lights in Iceland that early January 2017. Unfortunately we were covered in a thick comforter of clouds the entire week, which made the days more desolate and beautiful and the days and nights warmer. 

My son and I stayed up as late as possible, taking turns going out for late night walks to try and find the Northern Lights. In the distance you can see the church where we first stopped upon reaching Holmavik (chronicled in an earlier post) where we were almost lifted off the ground by the howling winds.
