Iceland loves Boston, one of its main gateway cities to Reykjavik, and apparently, Boston loves us in return. The Boston Globe, in its Sept. 1 issue, ranks the country as one of its top 10 destinations this fall. The story reads, in part, “Of all the bewitching natural phenomena here, the northern lights, or aurora borealis, are among the most spectacular. Iceland is one of the world’s best locales to see this display and September marks the beginning of prime viewing, which continues through March.
“Haukur Parelius of Nature Explorers tours in Reykjavík says, ‘What’s needed is a clear sky and darkness. Tour operators don’t have a secret place to go to or any tricks to ‘turn them on,’ but of course we have a few places outside the city which are dark and away from light pollution.’” Icelandair offers the only direct flight from Boston, www.icelandair.us/offers-and-bookings .
