I'll be in Iceland at the end of March and wondering if the Milky Way is visible at that time of the year.  Northern Lights?

Northern lights are, but in order to see Milky Way, you need good dark nights.  Which assuming you get away from the few major cities that that do have, you'll find plenty of that up there.  I've seen some cool shots of Milky Way and Northern Lights captured in the same shot.

That's going to be a fun trip!  That should be excellent trip for both Northern lights and Milky way.  Do you have one of those star trackers?
