Northern Lights Tour Selection Trips
- The Northern Lights operate on their own timetable, dependent on atmospheric conditions. You’re never guaranteed an appearance at any given time, but you can maximize your chances.
- The best opportunities to witness the lights are when the skies are clear and dark in the fall through spring. Summer skies are too bright for viewing, and cloudy, snowy skies can prevent viewing.
- While September-October and March-April may bring more chances to see the lights, they tend to be at their brightest in winter darkness.
- The Northern Lights are most commonly witnessed on or above the Arctic Circle – approximately 66 degrees latitude – but occasionally dip much lower, into U.S. states such as Michigan and Maine or, in Europe, into Scotland, England or even northern France.
- You can increase your chances of seeing the Northern Lights by traveling to places where they are most common – such as the region around Fairbanks, Alaska; Whitehorse, Canada; or Abisko National Park, Sweden.
- For the darkest skies, avoid scheduling your aurora borealis tour for days when the moon is full and bright (the new moon is ideal) and be sure to get out into the countryside away from city lights. Peak viewing time is generally around midnight.
