Plus, it’s the home of the real North Pole. Finland is famous for its winter activities that boast unique ice hotels, and scores of organized tours. If you want to experience earth’s greatest light show while exploring one of the most magical winter wonderlands, Finnish Lapland is your best bet. Plus, there are almost as many saunas in Finland as there are people, so you’ll be fine! Top Spots to See the Northern Lights 1. From snowmobiling to dog sledding to ice hotels, a Nordic vacation in the winter is a blast. Don’t fret though, there are so many fun things to do in the Arctic that you will hardly notice the cold. As you can imagine, if you heading to Scandinavia or northern Canada in January, you can prepare for a chilly vacation. Generally, the darkest skies occur within an hour on either side of midnight. With few cities, the icy north has little to no light pollution, allowing for the best viewing conditions. Due to long, cold, dark winters, the farther north you go, the fewer people there are. More dark hours equals more chances for the unusual reaction to occur in your sight. This is mostly because the skies above the Arctic Circle are darkest in the winter months. While you can technically see aurora activity year-round in the northern hemisphere, if we go with the percentage approach, you are going to need a parka because you have the best shot of seeing the lights from November to February. That’s why almost all aurora sightings are at the ends of the earth, so to speak. Only a tiny amount of the charges are able to sneak through, and those charges are pulled toward the highly magnetic poles. The whole earth is constantly bombarded with these solar winds, but the power of the magnetic field deflects most of them, sending them soaring into deep space.
The energy produced by this collision pops off vibrant visible light, dazzling adventurous humans (with frozen fingers and a crick in their neck) across the globe. The natural phenomenon of vibrant dancing colors is caused by electrically charged particles from solar winds smacking into the oxygen and nitrogen particles in the earth’s atmosphere.
