List í ljósi (Art in the Light) is a mesmerizing winter art and light festival held each February in the fjordside town of Seyðisfjörður, Iceland. For two nights, the town transforms into a glowing outdoor gallery where artists present light installations, video projections, and interactive works that illuminate the snowy landscape and surrounding mountains. The event celebrates creativity, community, and the return of light after the long Arctic darkness, drawing visitors from across Iceland and beyond. Blending art, nature, and the region’s distinct sense of isolation and wonder, Art in the Light is one of Iceland’s most intimate and atmospheric cultural experiences.
