For those of you off on school trips to Iceland this month with Discover the World you might like to know what the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights might be during your stay.
Going now during the October half term is an ideal time - weather permitting. As always with wildlife and the Northern Lights nothing is guaranteed but checking out the Geophysical Institute website in Alaska will give you an indication of the probability of seeing them - if clear skies are forecast.
My own expereiece of seeing the Northern Lights was when I accompanied a school group in October 2006, thanks Paul, and we saw an incredible display combined with an amazing show of shooting stars!
Have a great trip with School Discover... and hope you are successful in hunting down these elusive Northern Lights!
