Where's the switch for the northern lights?

Hey there, beloved High Five Club members and prospective members,

It is your friends at the Reykjavík Grapevine, popping back into your inbox with a hello and an update from GV HQ.

We're hard at work putting the finishing touches on the February issue of the Grapevine — look out for your early-access PDF in next week's newsletter. It's shaping up to be a really good one; you won't want to miss it. Seriously.

What's already out and ready for your eyeballs is our latest YouTube video (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre). We were dying to know how the northern lights work and found ourselves wondering what, if anything, influences their activity. So, we turned to Marcel de Vries, meteorologist extraordinaire from the Icelandic Met Office, for his expert explanation.

Give it a watch (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre).

That's it from us this week. As always, thanks for your support and your undying love.

<3 Team Grapevine
