Three trips to Iceland. The lights showed up on the second.
The first was a washout. By the third I was bringing other people.

What I would tell you
- 别只待三四天。极光季一晚的概率大概三成,待够七晚才谈得上稳。
- 住在南岸而不是雷克雅未克,光污染和云层都少得多。
- 云图比极光指数重要。KP 值再高,头顶有云也一样看不见。
Before and after
Before: I thought seeing the aurora was luck, and that failing once meant it wasn't for me.
After: It is luck — but you can buy luck with nights. Stay long enough and the odds come to you.
