This autumn, as well as the natural phenomenon of the Northern Lights there is a new presence in night sky as it becomes illuminated by the brilliant beam emitted by the Imagine Peace Tower. If you are very lucky – witness both the same time! Yoko Ono will return to Reykjavik on October 9 to relight her Imagine Peace Tower on Videy Island for its second year.
The 20-metre high beam of brilliant white light emitted from the tower will be visible across the city from October 9, John Lennon’s birthday, to December 8, the day he died, as well as on New Year’s Eve and during the first week of spring.
The spectacular Northern Lights can also be witnessed in Iceland from October – March. Iceland’s close proximity to the North Pole makes this awe-inspiring country perfect for viewing this amazing natural light show given the right conditions – on a clear starry night with an evening temperature below zero degrees Celsius.
See both of these spectacular light shows for yourself this autumn and join Discover the World on a breathtaking trip to Iceland. If you're looking for a long weekend in a vibrant, cosmopolitan city then Reykjavik has it all. Whilst you're at it indulge mind and body in a therapeutic visit to the world-famous Blue Lagoon. If, like me, you enjoy the city and the countryside then an 'Essential Iceland' self-drive is perfect. What better way to spend the autimn days then driving around the fantastic coastal scenery of the south where the air is crisp and rejuvenating.
