🔴 Live Now: Geomagnetic Storm Lights Up Iceland | Live Aurora in 4K

Aurora activity remains elevated over Iceland today as Earth continues to experience the effects of a coronal mass ejection (CME) that left the Sun on January 8. Over the past 24 hours, geomagnetic activity reached G2 (moderate storm) levels, and while the peak has passed, NOAA forecasts G1 (minor storm) conditions continuing through today. This means the auroral oval is still energized, creating good potential for visible and dynamic northern lights across Iceland—especially during periods when the solar wind strengthens or fluctuates. Aurora outlook today: • Expected intensity: Active to G1 (minor storm) • Best windows: Early and late portions of the day when Kp values approach 4–4.7 • What to watch for: Bright green arcs forming across the sky, drifting curtains, rippling motion, and brief intensifications as geomagnetic conditions pulse • Why it’s active: Ongoing interaction between Earth’s magnetic field and a CME that arrived earlier this week Space weather context: • Solar radiation levels remain low, with no radiation storms expected • Radio blackout risk is minimal, indicating relatively stable solar flare activity • These conditions favor structured, photogenic auroras rather than chaotic storm bursts Weather note: Iceland’s winter darkness provides ideal contrast for aurora viewing. Clear or partly clear skies will offer the best chances, and even moderate activity can appear vivid against snow-covered terrain and coastal landscapes. Join us live as the northern lights continue to glow and evolve over Iceland, following a recent solar storm and offering another chance to witness this remarkable space-weather-driven phenomenon.
