The Goddess Of The Dawn – The Aurora

Guest Speaker

Thursday, 9th April 2026 (19:45 - 22:00)

Venue: Hybrid

The Aurora is one of nature's most amazing phenomena, but what causes it? Who over time has tried to make sense of it? Who has observed it?

What legends are there surrounding it?

This talk will cover all this and more. A veteran of 16 years of Aurora hunting, leading tours and training guides as well as working with tour companies in Iceland Andy is well placed to talk on this fascinating subject.
