Last night, spectacular Northern Lights were visible in the early evening. Crowds of people headed to the Grótta beach and lighthouse in West Reykjavik to observe them.

Meterologist Þorsteinn V.Jónsson at the Iceland Met Office says that conditions are good for Northern Lights at the moment and that they were clearly visible in the city.

The Northern Lights forecast for tonight is good although more cloud cover is expected, especially in the North and East, but they should be visible in the South and West.
