Gokul_Sahni: Hofn, Iceland 🇮🇸. Not much larger than a bus stop. https://t.co/W4BbpBP6RU

Like where in iceland has the combintion of high aurora activity and good weather? Is it better to see them in the south like around Vik and Hofn or in the north west around reykholar and thos cities? Please answe soon :P thanks

I like the landscape of both but could only afford one

I might go one of these days and I was just interested in how and where someone might go about doing that.

I am looking for some advice, particularly if you are from Iceland. I have a holiday booked for Iceland for the last week in June 2011, 4 weeks from now. This is a photographic holiday, touring from Reykjavik capital and through the south and south east as far as Hofn. I am concerned due to the recent volcanic eruption. I don't want to go there and not be able to get all the beautiful photographs of the fantastic scenery due to ash or limited visibility.I can easily change my booking until October, however I realise the weather will not be as good then. The media gives us reports on how flights are affected etc, but not much information on the conditions in Iceland itself. Please can you advise me what I should do. This holiday is a once in a lifetime trip, it is costing quite a lot of money and I do not want to take any chances. Thank You.

i need to know the smallest city in iceland and a major city please?
