The multicolored lights dancing across the night sky, seen north of the Arctic Circle, are called the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis. This stunning natural phenomenon can be seen to the north on clear nights – an unforgettable experience. Welcome to one of the best places in the world to witness the Northern Lights!
