Álfar are elves in Icelandic folklore. Building projects in Iceland are sometimes altered to prevent damaging the rocks where they are believed to live. According to these Icelandic folk beliefs, one should never throw stones because of the possibility of hitting the elves.
The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, in Iceland are where vibrant ribbons of green, pink, and purple light dance across the night sky. This spectacle is most visible during the dark, clear winter months, particularly in remote areas far from city lights. The ethereal glow of the Northern Lights creates a magical atmosphere, captivating all who witness it.
