Look at aurora equipment 1

Equipment for shooting the aurora is of course essential. Although some mobile phones with black technology function can shoot aurora directly, if you want to take professional photos, you need to prepare a tripod and a professional SLR camera in advance. The wind in Iceland is strong, so the tripod should be stable and have self-respect.

When you see the aurora, it is always at night. Although it is usually a clear night sky and it won't rain, it will be windy and very cold at this time. Therefore, we must pay attention to keep warm when dressing. It is recommended to wear a windbreaker and a sweater.

3. Shoes should also be kept warm, preferably hiking shoes with good functions, not canvas shoes to avoid frostbite. In addition, bringing an extra pair of socks is a must-have item at a critical time.

4. A wool hat that can cover your ears is very important. Seeing the aurora standing in the open space in the suburbs for a long time, blowing the wind will cause frostbite and headache.

For those who insist on taking pictures, don't forget to bring gloves that can touch the screen.

6. Warm baby is a good thing, and it is too comfortable to stick it on the abdomen and legs in winter. A water bottle with good thermal insulation performance, filled with hot chocolate milk, is also a timely help.

7. It is best to bring spare batteries for mobile phones and cameras. At this time, because of the cold weather, the battery of the machine may be consumed too fast or even shut down suddenly.
