“Where is the Aurora Borealis?” Someone in our travel group asked our experienced guide, Loo – an “Aurora Chaser” – after waiting about half an hour at a dark area in freezing temperatures near the Grand Hotel in Reykjavik, Iceland.

A constellation of stars spread over the cloudless sky with no evidence of rain – it was the perfect condition for spotting the green hues of the Northern Lights but alas, there was no sign of this phenomenon.
