Three famous auroras viewpoints
In astronomy, aurorae is a rare phenomenon. Magical bands of light are produced when charged particles from the solar wind collide with the earth's upper atmosphere, 100 to 400 kilometers above sea level. Upon reaching Earth, these winds are blocked by the upper atmosphere, creating electromagnetic collisions. The result is bands of light in continuous motion, like colorful ribbons in the sky

Yellowknife, Canada
Yellowknife is the largest capital of Northwest Canada. This is one of the top tourist destinations for aurora viewing, as it is located in the "aurora oval", in low latitudes and less polluted by light. This place has a flat ground with no obstructions, so it is convenient for visitors to camp to "hunt" the aurora north

The auroras occur according to the cycle of the sun and usually in late autumn and early spring. Therefore, you can observe auroras most evenings in October. Other places in the country where auroras can be seen are Wood Buffalo National Park and Jasper National Park.
Rovaniemi, Finland
If you intend to "hunt" the aurora in Northern Europe, the ideal time is from October to early March next year. The Rovaniemi region in Finland is one of the most famous arctic sights in the world.
Visitors need a place with a clear sky, a little luck and patience The auroras may suddenly appear and disappear in 2 minutes, but sometimes you will be able to admire the magical light that lasts for 3 hours.

Another unique activity when visiting Rovaniemi is on dog-sled carts. The sled dogs consist of lead dogs acting on navigation and those that act as wheels. Here, visitors also do not miss the opportunity to meet Santa Claus "genuine", still working daily. Locals and tourists gradually called this place the village of Santa Claus, instead of Rovaniemi.



Not only at Christmas, Santa Claus will welcome guests at the office every day of the year.
Murmansk, Russia
Murmansk is Russia's northernmost province, along with several provinces in Norway, Finland, Alaska (USA) and part of Canada located on the Arctic Circle. Due to the cold weather, the capital Murmansk has only over 300,000 residents, equivalent to the number of tourists coming here every year. Besides Yellowknife (Canada), Rovaniemi (Finland), Murmansk is also a place to watch the arctic aurora, attracting many tourists.

Besides "hunting" the arctic auroras, visitors to the Murmansk region should visit Teriberka village, located on the coast of Barents - part of the Arctic Ocean. It is famous for being the filming location of Leviathan - the 2014 Cannes award-winning film.



In addition to Teriberka, you can come to Sami village with unique experiences such as riding a professionally trained husky sled, reindeer rickshaw or ice fishing
