Reykjavik, which hosts the "Northern Lights Tour", attracts tourists from all over the world. This magical light dance, which is the result of the interaction of the Earth's magnetic field with sunlight-charged particles, occurs mostly at the end of February and early March. Northern Lights is the biggest tourist draw, but visitors also come to see the Tjörnin, Videy and Grotta islands, Hallgrimskirkja Church, the Imagine Peace Tower, Perlan, Reykjavik Museum, National Museum of Iceland, Abear Museum, Golden Circle and Volcano House are the other main tourist attractions.  Iceland benefits from the Gulf Stream, a sub-polar climate effect that makes countries at high longitudes liveable thanks to hot water currents.  However, winter months are very cold, and even the summer months are mild. Reykjavik Airport is 2 km from the city center.
