On the Hunt for the Northern Lights

 Wednesday, June 17, 2015

The thrill of witnessing the Aurora Borealis is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many. Some, however, get hooked and can never get enough of the blazing colours in the sky. The Northern Lights dancing up above is such a powerful and unique natural phenomenon it changes lives down on Earth. Being one of the best places to spot the Aurorae, Finland has even received immigration because of them. Below are some tips for becoming a Northern Lights Hunter:

• Go North. In northern lapland the lights shine about every other night between September and March.
• Look to the stars. If you notice that the night sky is clear and starry, your chances of seeing the northern lights are good.
• Wrap up warm. It can get very cold when the lights are almost easily seen.
