Aurora Borealis in Lofoten Islands

This isn’t just another generic Northern Lights guide, it’s built on real experience. After living in the Lofoten Islands for the past 5 years and witnessing the aurora borealis countless times, I’ve learned exactly what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to chasing the lights.

In this guide, I share everything I’ve learned:

The best spots to see the aurora without crowds. What apps and tools I actually use. How to read the weather forecast. Practical tips to stay warm, safe, and have fun Bonus ideas to make your aurora nights unforgettable even if the sky doesn’t cooperate packing tips so you don't freeze! Favourite locations for your winter holidays! Cosy cafes and fav restaurants, my preferred accomodations and more.

Whether it’s your first time in the Arctic or you’ve tried and missed the lights before, this guide gives you the insider knowledge you need for a successful and memorable aurora hunt! :)
