During our time in Iceland, I experienced many natural wonders. One of them includes the Aurora Borealis. Our hotel was in the middle of nowhere, but it was a nice. It had 2 twin beds and a queen bed. On one of the beds there was an animal fur decoration. My my sister and I draped it around our shoulders and wore it like a cloak. As we played as our dad stood outside and watched the sky. He called us out when the sky grew faint green stripes. They sometimes became clear and rippling and moving across the sky. Eventually we went back inside ready for a long drive tomorrow. Though some 15 minutes later, gasps and screams of excitement and shock came from outside. My dad got out of bed, my sister and I searched for our shoes, and our mom followed us out. We all stood underneath the night sky, faint green strips dancing above our heads. After a few minutes with nothing exciting happening, my sister decided to head back in. My mom told me to go get a coat. When I returned, the sky started to sparkle and dance with green and purple light. It rippled through the night. It was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. As the shimmering light died away, we returned to our warm beds, ready for tomorrows adventures. -Hattie
