Northern lights tonight in Norway

Kirkenes lies in the far east near the Russian and Finnish borders, with a stable winter climate.

Nordkapp lies so far north that aurora can appear even at moderate activity — but the weather is harsh.

Alta is known as the 'aurora town' and has a long history as a centre for northern lights research.

Tromsø sits in the heart of the auroral oval and is one of the world's best places to see the northern lights.

Senja is Norway's second-largest island — wild, mountainous and full of calm bays perfect for aurora.

Narvik has inland mountains, few people and frequent clear nights — strong conditions for aurora.

Lofoten combines dramatic peaks and ocean with strong aurora chances — one of Norway's most photogenic spots.

Bodø sits on the edge of the aurora oval and can have great nights when the clouds break up.
