Thank you iviehoff, I am also saving this topic for any future trips if I want to see northern lights.
Indeed, seeing them in Iceland felt like being lucky and not something that is normal / easy. Although April was quite late so it felt extra lucky.
Thanks for your advice. Nobody has really said anything supportive about Tromso so far so I reckon I'll probably remove that from the list of possible destinations. That article also looks really useful so I'll study it and try to further inform my decision!
