Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis,
paint the night sky with mesmerizing hues of
green, blue, and purple, creating a breathtaking
celestial spectacle. This natural phenomenon,
caused by solar particles colliding with Earth's
atmosphere, captivates viewers in high-latitude
regions such as Scandinavia and Canada.

1. ICELAND
Iceland is ideal for Northern Lights viewing,
especially at Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon near
Vatnajokull Glacier, known for clear skies and
remote settings away from city lights.
Kirkjufell, north of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula,
offers photographers a perfect spot with its
distinctive shape and nearby waterfall. Other
great locations in Southern Iceland include
Thingvellir National Park and Vik. The best time
to see the Northern Lights is from September to
April, with January providing the darkest nights
for viewing and photography.

2. CANADA
Canada offers prime Northern Lights viewing in
the north, particularly in Yukon, Northwest
Territories, and Nunavut, where proximity to the
magnetic pole increases the chances of witnessing
this spectacular display. For an exceptional
experience, visit Churchill, Manitoba, in
February, situated beneath the auroral oval.
Jasper and Banff national parks in the Canadian
Rockies are also fantastic spots for viewing,
with Jasper being the worlds largest Dark Sky
Preserve. The best time to see the Northern
Lights in Canada is from September to March,
especially around the equinoxes in March and
September, when longer nights provide more
opportunities to witness the lights.

3. NORWAY
Norway's prime position in the auroral oval makes
it one of the best places to witness the Northern
Lights, offering stunning fjords, snow-capped
mountains, and frequent vibrant displays for a
truly magical experience. Visit between September
and April for optimal viewing, with northern
regions like Tromsø boasting up to 200 aurora
nights annually, especially after 6 pm. Explore
other remarkable destinations such as the Lofoten
Islands, Svalbard, Kirkenes, Bodø, the Vesterålen
Islands, and Varanger for equally enchanting
Northern Lights displays.

Alaska, due to its proximity to the Arctic
Circle, is an ideal destination for experiencing
the Aurora Northern Lights, with the best viewing
time from late August to mid-April, especially
active from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. March's clearer
spring skies, the Spring Equinox, and a new moon
offer optimal conditions for avid Aurora hunters.
