Aurora Season
Stay up for something extraordinary. As darkness returns, the northern sky becomes a reason to slow down, look up, and leave room for the unexpected.
EXPERIENCE WINDOW / Late August – early April
Follow the season, at your own pace.
Aurora sightings need darkness and clear skies. Allow several nights; a sighting is never guaranteed.
These are broad planning windows. Latitude, community and weather change the timing. Suitable months are not a promise of operating dates.
What to pack
Warm layers, insulated boots, mitts, a tripod and spare batteries.
Weather and light
Northern lights need dark skies. Early autumn and late winter offer very different temperatures and daylight.
