Description
We missed the boat. My mom and I had booked a trip to Iceland that included a night of touring the northern lights and taking a dip in a geothermal spa. Unfortunately, we were too far out in the countryside the day of the tour and couldn't make it back in time. We had to settle for a private hike into a geothermal river high up in the mountains where we soaked all alone as the moon rose above us. The northern lights greeted us on our way back to Reykjavik. Maybe sometimes its okay to miss the boat?

Thank you Parveen. This image was taken after a nice long soak in the "hot river" high up in the Reykjadalur. We hiked out by headlamp and where then greeted with this brief display. Such a perfect night!
