The glittering swords of the Valkyries, which are picked up from the battlefield by fallen soldiers and taken to the valleys of Valhalla ... are more romantic, epic and more vivid than the ancient Vikings thought about the Northern Lights, today you can not say. Indeed, this is one of the most beautiful representations that the planet Earth is playing for us, which is difficult to understand. Therefore, it is much more pleasant to write off everything on the Saami beliefs about sparks from the wave of the fox tail or about the news that they were sent from the dead world alive.

Of course, today there is a simple and logical explanation for the so-called Northern Lights (which, in fact, happens at the South Pole, and therefore more correctly call it the Polar Lights) . So, "Aurora Borealis" as this phenomenon is surprisingly beautiful, there is nothing else than the charged particles of the solar wind penetrated into the earth's magnetic field . Here, about 100 km from the surface, they collide with air molecules and begin their surreal game, pouring from red in blue, purple or green . It's better to see such an indescribable beauty personally than to read a lot of enthusiastic lines or scientific explanations . And Norway is suitable for watching a fairy and raging in the dark sky the best possible .

The ideal time for watching "Aurora Borealis" is impossible to prompt. It happens that the radiance pleases all residents of Northern Norway for 2-3 weeks in a row, and sometimes it does not show up for several days in succession.
Valkyrie's blinding swords that they pick up fallen soldiers from the battlefield and take them to Valhalla's palaces .. more romantic, more epic and more vivid than the ancient Vikings thought about the Northern Lights, today you can not say.

In order to somehow guess the day of hunting for the Northern Lights, pay attention to the weather forecast. There should be a clear and frosty night, no snowfalls or a strong wind that can drive the clouds. The ideal dates are from 21 October to 21 February, but depending on the region of the country, they are somewhat shifted. The ideal time is from 21: 00-21: 30 until 23:30. As for the choice of a place, Norway can be tormented with this - practically the entire northern part of the country is ready to provide its sky for viewing the Northern Lights.

Norway has long considered the Northern Lights a national landmark, so that tourists are offered all possible services and Entertainment for full-scale enjoyment of the spectacle. Starting from an overnight stay in an iglu hotel, near which guests will wait outside the hotel for a grill with mulled wine and cozy rugs, ending with special glass roofs in the rooms for those who prefer to observe the riot of colors in the sky from a cozy warm bed.
