Northern Norway is among the most comfortable and interesting places to see the northern lights and to experience the unbelievable colours move across the Arctic sky. Find out where to go and the best time to see the aurora borealis.

An aurora (plural: auroras or aurorae), sometimes referred to as polar lights, northern lights (aurora borealis), or southern lights (aurora australis), is a natural light display in the Earth's sky, predominantly seen in the high-latitude regions (around the Arctic and Antarctic).. Auroras are the result of disturbances in the magnetosphere caused by solar wind.

The Northern Lights project is part of the Norwegian CCS full-scale project, which includes capture of CO2 from industrial sources in the Oslofjord region, shipping of liquid CO2 from capture sites to an onshore terminal on the Norwegian west coast, and pipeline transport from onshore to an offshore storage complex in the North Sea.

The lights of the Aurora generally extend from 80 kilometres (50 miles) to as high as 640 kilometres (400 miles) above the earth's surface. Where is the best place to watch the Northern Lights? Northern Lights can be seen in the northern or southern hemisphere, in an irregularly shaped oval centred over each magnetic pole.
