Finland: Northern Lights Trip
Visit Santa Claus Village 🎅
What are the Northern Lights
The natural phenomenon that are the Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis, are an amazing site for anyone to see. These colorful viewings are a result of collisions between gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere with charged particles released from the sun's atmosphere (click here for more information).
As the natural event happens near the magnetic poles it is best seen near the North or South Pole. Especially in Finland during the winter months the light is a frequent visitor when there is a clear sky and there isn’t a lot of sunlight 🤩
And that’s not all! A visit to the enchanting Santa Claus Village🎅 will add a magical touch to your journey. Meet Santa Claus himself, explore the festive village, and embrace the holiday spirit in one of the most iconic destinations in Finland.
Join this amazing group of young travelers and live together this amazing once in a lifetime experience!
