Zeer interessant museum dat je alles uitlegt over het noorderlicht: waar, wanneer, ontstaan, hoe fotograferen etc. Het is echt heel volledig.
Interessante foto's en animaties die de eventueel ontgoochelde deelnemers aan een Aurora jacht toch nog compensatie kunnen bezorgen.
Wat ons betreft, wij waren een week in Reykjavik en hebben tweemaal gewoon vanuit onze hotelkamer kort Aurora kunnen aanschouwen.
Een troostprijs zou ik dit museum dan ook helemaal niet willen noemen, daarvoor is het te volledig.

Da wir leider keine Nordlichter in Natura gesehen haben, war dies (fast) ein vollständiger Ersatz. es waren wunderschöne Photos und Videos.
