Because the northern lights are a winter event, you may be walking and waiting outdoors while looking for them. It is recommended that you wear sturdy non-slip snow footwear and warm clothing including thermals, hat, scarf and gloves. 5. Because all routes and itinerary inclusions are weather dependent in Iceland, please be flexible and trust that your local driver-guide is well trained, attentive to safety requirements, and that, if necessary, your trip will be reorganized in a comfortable, safe way to provide you the best experience possible. 6. The constant awareness and relationship with Iceland’s changing weather is part of the exciting immersion that makes Iceland a thrilling destination.  7. Iceland remains on Greenwich Mean Time all year. That means that from November to March, when the USA uses Standard Time, Iceland is 5 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. 8. The days are much shorter in winter – allowing for more opportunities to experience the northern lights on dark, cloudless nights away from city lights. Keep in mind that because they are a natural phenomenon, Northern Lights sightings cannot be guaranteed. [We celebrated] our 50th wedding anniversary . . . in Iceland!
