Iceland Aurora 2017

Memorable Trip to Iceland on March 2017. The objectives of this trip were to enjoy zero degree C, enjoy snowing, celebrate birthdays and hopefully catch a glimpse of aurora before it enter into the next ten year cycle of low sun spot activity.

On our return trip, we had two days transit stay in Copenhagen.
