About this postcard

Jökulsárlón is one of the best places in Iceland to photograph the aurora — the open lagoon provides an unobstructed view of the sky, and the icebergs catch and reflect the light from below, turning the scene into something with no clear boundary between sky and water. On strong aurora nights, the lagoon seems to glow from both directions at once.

The aurora borealis is caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with gases in the Earth's atmosphere, producing the curtains of green, purple, and white light that appear in Iceland's skies between September and March. The best conditions require clear skies, darkness, and solar activity — all three came together for this photograph. A postcard worth keeping. Sent with a genuine Icelandic stamp from Iceland.

Every Postcard.is design is a real image from Iceland — a place whose landscapes range from glaciers and waterfalls to volcanic deserts and midnight-sun coastlines. We print each card on quality postcard stock, add your personal message, and post it directly from Iceland with a genuine Icelandic stamp and postmark.
