Everyone’s got the Northern Lights on their bucket list, right? It’s one of those things people bring up at dinner parties even if they’ve never actually seen it. Northern Lights in Norway are especially popular around Tromsø, Alta, and the Lofoten Islands; that’s the go-to zone. Iceland does things differently, mixing aurora hunting with waterfalls, glaciers, volcanic landscapes, and those black-sand beaches that flood everyone’s Instagram feed every winter.
