Light Pollution

High light pollution — best for strong displays (Kp 4+)

Safety

City-adjacent oceanside spa in Kópavogur — not a dark-sky wilderness location. Best used as a convenient evening aurora check rather than a primary viewing site.

Parking

Free on-site car park at the facility. Easy access by car or hotel transfer from central Reykjavík.
