Tromso, Alta, Kirkenes, and Lofoten Svalvear are a few of the places where you can go hunting for the lights. Some places offer tours where you can do all kinds of fun activities under the dancing greenish light. If traveling northern Norway at the right time, with the right conditions, you have a good chance of seeing the Northern Lights where ever you are. Where in Norway Can You See the Northern Lights? Iceland, Canada, and Alaska are other places where you can view it. When it comes to the Aurora Borealis, you can see it in the Lapland area of Norway, Sweden, and Finland. As mentioned, you can also see it around the south pole area when that’s the case, the light is called Aurora Australis. Northern Lights, also called Aurora Borealis, when viewed close to the arctic circle. Since this is a natural phenomenon, on rare occasions, it has been seen outside of the north and south pole areas. The most common places to see the northern lights is around the Arctic circle and Antarctica. Here is a video that explains the northern lights process, more in detail This is what creates the northern lights that we can see in the dark sky. When the particles collide with atoms in the earth’s atmosphere, the collisions show as green, blue, red, and white light. When they connect back together, the gas from the solar storm streams back along the magnetic lines and back down on the polar areas, but this time on the night side of the earth. The magnetic fields swing around the earth and connect back together. This gas stream causes the northern lights during the day, but because of the daylight, we can’t see it. The magnetic fields from the sun and our planet come together and create a gas stream that comes down on the north and south polar areas. When they reach us, the earth’s magnetic field acts as a shield. Solar storms occur daily, and some of them take the direction towards us on earth and bring these particles with them. These gas eruptions contain particles traveling through space.
Ok, let’s take a closer look at science, for a minute, and talk about how the northern lights occur. Working as a tour operator, one of the most common questions we would get is where and when do I have the best chance of seeing the northern lights?
