A phenomenon like no other
We are looking forward to traveling again, to enjoying nature -which we probably value more than ever-, and to looking beyond the horizon, towards all the wonders that the world still has to offer us.
For the moment, however, we must settle for squeezing it as much as possible without leaving our homes, and what better than hunting for the Northern Lights? And beware, because there is a good side in all this; perhaps, it will give us the opportunity to fulfill a traveling dream that not everyone achieves, not even spending a week in arctic destinations: to finally observe the fantastic spectacle of the dancing lights of the north.
HOW TO SEE NORTHERN LIGHTS FROM HOME?
Tuning in to this phenomenon is very easy: just decide on your destination. For example, do you want to observe the webcam of the Churchill Center for Northern Studies, in Manitoba (Canada)? It is located directly below the oval of the aurora, one of the most extraordinary places on earth to enjoy this prodigy. Late winter and early spring are the best times to hunt the aurora in this area, so hurry to the Explore website, where they also offer you weather forecasts!
If you prefer to feel like on vacation in a cabin in the middle of the Finnish forest, then connect with the webcam of Aurora Service Tours, located in a remote wilderness area of Muotkatunturi), in the extreme north of Finland, already in Lapland. And watch out, because from their Facebook page, they tip you off every time they know there's going to be a particularly good night for beauty hunters...
Shall we go to Sweden now? There's the Aurora Webcam from Nordic travel company Lights Over Lapland, which has two cameras in Abisko National Park, one pointing northwest and one pointing northeast. In this case, you can also explore the still photos that the camera takes every five minutes. Of course, to enjoy this vision, you must enter its website.
