Northern Lights
Winter solstice
December 21 is the northern winter solstice. Here in Selfoss sunrise was at 11:14 and sunset at 15:29 and the sun is just 2.7° over the horizon at midday.
Winter wonderland
Lots of snow and the Northern Lights light up the night sky. This looks a lot like Christmas. Another photo from last night.

The coldest day so far
It was very cold today, the coldest day this winter. The temperature was -12°C this morning and 10 cm of snow. The Ölfusá River started to freeze. Now it’s only daylight for perhaps five hours.
This picture was taken at 14:30 in poor daylight.
Aurora Borealis
Aurora borealis
Northern Lights tonight. Good forecast but rather poor lights and a misty sky. The red color is light pollution from Reykjavik 60 km away.
Frosty river
In the last couple of days we have had temperatures below zero. The days are getting shorter and the river Ölfusá has begun to freeze. This photo is taken around 5 o’clock this afternoon and as you can see the sun is setting.
