This was my first evening ever witnessing the northern lights! After a week long trip exploring the beauties of Iceland, the clouds finally cleared up on our last night, revealing the Lady in Green. #adventure
Beautiful. Just on the side of the road... They did some trails so you can walk about. Nice little place to relax.
