Nature’s show of a lifetime
Also known as Aurora Borealis, the magical Northern Lights can be witnessed in Rovaniemi from late August until early April.
Once you see the spellbinding dance of the auroras, you’ll cherish it forever.
There are many ways to catch the breath-taking moment, but it requires some luck as well.
How to see the Aurora Borealis?
Auroras show up in darkness. Catching the amazing phenomenon requires clear and dark sky and a viewing spot not affected by light pollution, like streetlights and neon signs.
In Rovaniemi, you don’t have to walk far from the city centre to find a good spot. Just step outside, gaze at the sky in the dark, and let the wonders of the Arctic Circle stagger you.
But remember, even with perfect conditions, the auroras might not show – in this case, nature doesn’t give us guarantees.
Practical Tips for Northern Lights spotting
– The Northern Lights commonly appear between 10 PM and 2 AM, but can at times be seen as soon as 7 PM. A show might last from only a couple of minutes to several hours.
– Dress warm and comfortable clothes – waiting for the Auroras to show up can take a while.
– Get away from light pollution – witnessing the Northern Lights requires proper darkness.
– If you see moon or stars at the sky, it is a great starting point – Auroras appear properly under a clear, cloudless sky.
– Let yourself enjoy – it may be a once in a lifetime experience!
