Our bold claim is that Northern Norway is amongst the most comfortable and interesting places to see the northern lights, as hundreds of thousands of people live in this huge geographical area. The region offers a vast selection of activities, tours, cruises, restaurants and hotels, which all play an important part in the Arctic experience.

Some media have reported that scientists expect the aurora to fade and appear less frequently over the next ten years. This is not true for Northern Norway though, as scientist Truls Lynne Hansen at the Tromsø Geophysical Observatory explains: “we are past the northern lights climax which means there will be fewer observations around Oslo and further south. But under the auroral oval in Northern Norway, we will not see any difference”.
