Private Northern Lights Hunt
Overview
This trip focuses on experiencing the northern lights and we spend almost 4 hours out looking for this fantastic phenomenon. We start the evening with a small lecture about the northern lights. This is to give you an understanding of how it occurs, then we look at the conditions for this particular evening. We cannot say in advance where we are going, this depends on the weather forecast and northern lights forecast. We use our local knowledge to find the best places to experience the Northern Lights dancing in the night sky.
The mystery surrounding the light has given us many myths and
legends over the years. The light has also been
given many names and one of the names the Sami use for the light is
Guovssahas, meaning the light that can be heard.
The dry and stable climate in Alta provides the best conditions for being able to see the northern lights. On this trip you can enjoy the search for the magical
light and enjoy the beautiful arctic nature and wilderness at the same
time.
