Today on RÚV English Radio, everything you need to know about the beautiful sights above our skies (sometimes).

It's a very good time to see the Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, in Iceland - weather permitting.

Darren found out why that's the case from Grétar Jónsson, founder and director of Aurora Reykjavík - The Northern Lights Centre (https://aurorareykjavik.is/), where you can learn about (and even enjoy the lights) all year round.

RÚV English Radio is heard freely around the world and in Iceland, and covers everything Icelandic - news, culture, music, language, events, people, places & more - in English.
