Is the winter the best time to see them? I assume so with like 20 hours of darkness but everything else there must be pretty inhospitable this time of year

Basically all year but is only gets dark enough from late august till April. The more „night“ the longer the chances. To see the green lady. Also I prefer to go there during a new-moon phase :-)

Thanks. What are the conditions like in the winter there?

Chances of whiteouts and blizzards but also sunny days and winter-wonderland. Absolutely unpredictable weather but I love the forced „relaxation“ in a hut with a hot tub.

Thanks. I'm surprised there are sunny days in the winter. I thought they had like 18+ hours of dark in the winters up there

That’s in Spitzbergen for example, to my knowledge it never gets dark 24/7 in Iceland.

Just double checked it - you see the sun at least 3hrs in winter. It’s very low to the ground but that’s still better than a nothing.
