Rebecca Douglas, a professional photographer from Kent, UK, has visited Iceland 29 times, focusing on capturing the Northern Lights since 2010. She plans her trips for optimal viewing between August and April, often choosing remote accommodations to avoid light pollution. With the current solar cycle peaking, the aurora borealis is expected to be more vibrant in the coming years. Douglas’s dedication aligns with the growing trend of “noctourism,” emphasizing unique nighttime experiences. As travelers seek dark-sky destinations for stargazing and celestial events, Douglas also shares her expertise through an online course on photographing the auroras.
