Witness Iceland�s Inspiring Light Show This Autumn � The Imagine Peace Tower And The Northern Lights

Icelandic Tourist Board

This autumn, see Iceland�s night sky light up with the natural phenomenon of the Northern Lights and the Imagine Peace Tower. And if you are very lucky � witness both the same time!

Yoko Ono will return to Reykjavik on October 9 to relight her Imagine Peace Tower on Videy Island for its second year.

The 20-metre high beam of brilliant white light emitted from the tower will be visible across the city from October 9, John Lennon�s birthday, to December 8, the day he died, as well as on New Year�s Eve and during the first week of spring. Travellers can visit Videy Island to see the Peace Tower, which is inscribed with the �Imagine Peace� in 24 languages, with Reykjavik Whale Watching (www.elding.is). Ferries to Videy depart Reykjavik�s Skarfabakki pier at Sundah�fn harbour daily at 20:00.

The spectacular Northern Lights can also be witnessed in Iceland from October � March. Iceland�s close proximity to the North Pole makes this awe-inspiring country perfect for viewing this amazing natural light show given the right conditions � on a clear starry night with an evening temperature below zero degrees Celsius.

Combine these two stunning light shows with Black Tomato�s new four-day trip to Reykjavik. The package costs from �950 per person based on two sharing and includes international flights with Icelandair, private transfers, a private Super Jeep northern lights tour, a whale watching-tour (October departures only), a visit to the Imagine Peace Tower, accommodation at the Hotel Borg, and a trip to the geothermal waters of the Blue Lagoon.
