Around Akureyri Lake Myvatn Tour Searching for Lights Bye, Akureyri

The whole point of the trip was to see at last, for the first time in our lives, the aurora borealis, the Northern Lights.  So now we've left relatively warm Reykjavik and flown up to the frozen North and a small city called Akureyri, where the Northern Lights are supposed to glow mightily.  When you pronounce Akureyri, think of the English word "actuary" and for the first two syllables say "ock" instead of "ack," and "kew" instead of "tew."  That'll be pretty close.
