Experience the Magical Northern Lights with Havila Voyages
Peak season from October to March
The Northern Lights holds a scientific fascination for some. Others simply surrender to the beauty of the colourful fireworks in the middle of the dark night. While others believe in the mythical explanations, for instance that they represent the Viking god Odin's female warriors riding wildly across the sky.
What is it?
The Northern Lights are collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the Earth's atmosphere. As they enter the atmosphere they collide with oxygen and nitrogen and release energy which we see as the Northern Lights.
When do I see it?
To catch the best and brightest Northern Lights we reccommend late autumn and early spring. If you want to really up your chances, you should travel in October, February and March. These are known to be the best months for seeing the Northern Lights.
