The incredible light show of green, red, yellow, blue and violet rays dancing together is a phenomenon called “the northern lights“ and it occurs on the northern hemisphere, commonly known as the Aurora Borealis.
This masterpiece of Mother Nature doesn’t stop surprising you every time you see it and it’s always a sight that makes you stand in awe. The best time to enjoy the Aurora Borealis is from November to March because the nights are longer in this period. Here are some locations in the deep north where the light show is the most exciting.
Alaska, USA
Alaska has the perfect conditions for spotting the northern lights, as the state is characterized by cold weather, clear skies and dark nights. Fairbanks is one of the best places to watch from, as it’s located in the aurora oval itself.
Iceland
One of the best places to enjoy the view is the Pingvellir National Park, a UNESCO Heritage Site. You can also see it from Seltjarnarnes in Reykjavik, Vik, Látrabjarg and Westfjords.
Norway
Tromsø, Alta, Svalbard, Finnmar are one of the best places to see the Aurora Borealis. Tromsø is located above the Arctic Circle, so it has one of the best angles for this extraordinary light show.
