The Ultimate Guide to Northern Lights Experience

Even though the Northern Lights and Aurora Borealis are names for phenomena that occur all over the world, these names are used to describe a phenomenon that is only seen in the northern parts of the world. The best time to see the Northern Lights is during the darker winter months because of the longer days in the summer.
Northern Lights are indeed a fantastic spectacle that astonishes visitors and residents alike because of their stunning colors, wispy movements, and sheer presence in the skies. Alaska regions, especially Fairbanks, are the best places for the Northern Lights hunting. There you can delve deep into the beauties of authentic nature, harsh and breathtaking views, and experience the most of the Aurora Borealis.

The Aurora Sky Station located in Abisko is among the most astounding spots on the planet where you can experience the beauty of the Northern Lights. The phenomenon named after the Roman goddess of dawn - Aurora - can be observed here from Mount Nuolja at a height 900 meters above the sea level.
This mountaintop observation center has fresh, clear air and a practically permanently cloud-free sky which is one of the optimal perquisites. More or less active northern lights can be seen almost every night where Aurora often lights up the night sky in a way that can be described as an undulating sea of bright red, purple, green and white. Aurora Sky Station is included in the program of our winter tour to Sweden.
