Chasing the Northern Lights in Iceland for National Day? Bookmark this guide ASAP!

I agonized over outfits for three days checking the weather forecast before departure, only to realize in Iceland🇮🇸: functionality beats aesthetics by 100%❗ After all, who cares about posing when you're shivering in the icy wind😂 This exclusive checklist guarantees perfect preparation📷～ 🔥National Day Outfit Essentials: Windproof + Warm + Layered 🧥Outerwear: Must be a windproof/waterproof hard-shell jacket! Early snow in Iceland means regular down coats can't block the piercing wind 👔Mid-layer: Fleece or lightweight down for easy temperature adjustment (remove indoors without bulk) 👕Base: Pack two sets of quick-dry thermal underwear – way more practical than cotton when sweating 👖Pants: Ski pants over fleece-lined leggings, with adjustable cuffs to prevent snow entry 🎩Accessories: Wool hat covering ears! Double-wrap fleece scarves, touchscreen gloves (game-changer for photos) 🥾Footwear: High-traction boots + ice cleats! Icy roads turn regular snow boots into "skates" 🔥Don't overlook these details! ✔️Only 6-8 daylight hours – bring a 20,000mAh power bank (cold drains batteries fast) ✔️Hotels don't provide slippers! Pack non-slip ones or freeze on bathroom tiles ✔️Aurora photography? Portable tripod/mount is essential for shaky hands ✔️Cards work everywhere, but keep small change for tips ✔️Early aurora season means stable weather – still download prediction apps and follow guides ✔️Bring face masks for Blue Lagoon! Silica mud masks feel amazing (pricey onsite) 💡Tour or DIY? Some roads may snow❄️ during National Day – inexperienced drivers should join tours❗ Our guide spotted auroras instantly, adjusted camera angles, and created magical group moments under the dancing lights🥰～ Watching the aurora🌌 dance makes every shiver worthwhile! That moment when emerald ribbons flow across the sky, everyone holding their breath with only camera clicks breaking the silence – pure magic you must experience firsthand～
