Best Time to Book a Glass Igloo in Iceland

The Northern Lights season in Iceland runs from late September to early April. This is the best time to book a glass igloo stay, as long, dark nights increase your chances of seeing the aurora borealis.

Pro Tip: Plan your igloo stay for 2–3 nights to maximize your chances of catching the lights.
