Far from the city lights, you stand amidst the darkness, looking up at the sky. The northern lights dance across the firmament in marvellous colours, a firework created by nature itself. You are enjoying a view almost impossible to describe and an unforgettable experience.
The aurora borealis lights the sky over Lapland on up to 200 nights of the year, and on approximately one out of three nights in Rovaniemi. The best time to watch the northern lights is from September to late March. In summer, the sky is too bright for them to be discernible. Aurora borealis is best seen on a clear dark night, although its appearance is unpredictable and seeing it is never guaranteed. Sometimes, the lights flare up for a brief moment only, at other times a fortunate watcher may enjoy the spectacle for several hours. The best time to catch the northern lights is just before midnight, but this remains a matter of luck and no reliable forecasts can be given.
