Message from Johan Haugsrud

The Northern Lights Cathedral in Alta, Norway is a marvel to behold. This structure is comprised of concrete and titanium sheets which give it an otherworldly, modern exterior. The bright cladding combined with its circular form helps embody the essence of the breathtaking aurora borealis. Inside, the large bronze sculpture of Christ draws peoples attention due to the expertly crafted blue glaze on the altar wall. There is also an interactive exhibition on the northern lights available within the church called Borealis Alta which is worth checking out if you’re new to Norway or if you’ve never seen the majestic phenomenon before. Even in summer, this destination offers an awe-inspiring experience for all visitors and locals alike.
