Lapland: The Northern Lights

Explore one of the most beautiful natural phenomenon

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 Lapland during the winter months the light is a frequent visitor when there is a clear sky and there isn’t a lot of sunlight.

Join this amazing group of young travelers and live together this amazing once in a lifetime experience!
