The best time to see the aurora in Norway Where can I see the aurora in Norway?

Speaking of Norway, everyone will definitely think of Aurora, so Jing Tian Bian Xiao will come to talk to you about some questions about Aurora. Aurora actually needs luck to see. I hope everyone can get what they want when they go.

First of all, seeing aurora in northern Europe is a magnetoelectric phenomenon caused by sunspot explosion. Therefore, if you want to see the aurora, it must be better when sunspots are active;

Secondly, seeing the aurora requires a dark airspace atmosphere. Therefore, it usually takes half a year in winter to see the aurora in northern Europe; Because the sunspot activity in summer, even if it is a big outbreak, will never be dark in summer because of the extreme solar phenomenon, and it is impossible to appreciate it; Therefore, it is generally necessary to enjoy the aurora in northern Europe, and the best time period is between September of each year and March of the following year. The best viewing period should be 165438+ 10 to February. During this period, the nights in northern Europe are long, and the sunshine time during the day is almost 4 or 5 hours. The night is long, which is the best time to watch the aurora.

Then, there is the location problem: the geographical location for watching the aurora needs to be north of the Arctic Circle, where it is easy to explode and watch the aurora; Therefore, even Norway is not a place where the whole country can see the Northern Lights. Only in the north can there be an excellent observation point to watch the aurora. From my personal travel experience, Tromso is the best city to recommend you to see lasers in Norway!

Tromso is located in the fjord area of northern Norway, which is characterized by being located deep in the Arctic Circle. However, due to the influence of warm current, the harbor is not frozen, so it is almost the only place in the world where the reflection of the Northern Lights on the water can be photographed, which is favored by aurora lovers.

To Tromso, you can fly directly, but it is recommended to take a bus from Kiruna, Sweden to Narvik via Biscu. In this way, several points along the way are excellent places for aurora observation, and it is easier to see beautiful aurora during the whole trip.

Of course, there is another condition for observing the aurora, that is, the weather conditions that night: the position of the aurora is relatively high, so it must be sunny that night to be observed with the naked eye; If it is cloudy or snowy, even if the aurora breaks out in the sky, it is impossible to see it through the clouds on the ground.

Therefore, it is definitely a high probability to see the aurora, but it takes luck! However, there is one way to ensure that you have a higher chance of seeing the aurora, that is, stay in the Arctic Circle for a few more days and walk more places where it is easy to see the aurora, so that the chances of enjoying the perfect aurora explosion during the whole trip are still very high.

In China, the intensity of aurora in the northern hemisphere is a cycle of 7 or 8 years, but unfortunately it is still in a weakening period after the outbreak of 12- 13.

Ji, please refer to the upstairs answer. September accident is a good time. The weather is not cold and the scenery is good.

Month, every month (not exactly a month) also has a cycle. When you decide your itinerary, please check it.

Finally, in addition to the three cycles of the aurora, we should try to avoid the bright moon and cloudy days, especially cloudy days can only be known when we start to approach, so it takes some luck to be fully prepared.

1 the weather in northern Europe is not very good, and it is cloudy in February.

We went in June+10, 5438, out of necessity. Then hesitate between Huangdao Town in Canada and Northern Europe. I have a Spanish friend who studied in Sweden. He recommended the Aurora in Northern Europe. In addition, considering the situation of seeing the aurora on land, it is often because you can't stay outside for too long (the tour usually lasts for 2 or 3 hours, except for hotels with transparent roofs). . ), there would be no clutter on the ground at sea. Finally, we gave up Lapland and chose the Norwegian sea.

It is possible to see the month except in extremely bright summer, which is not directly related to the month, but depends on the intensity of sunspots and laser storms. This is not to say that there is no aurora in summer, but sunspot activity is very strong in summer solstice. The problem is that the light is too strong to see clearly after sunset. One of the conditions of aurora observation is that the light is dark enough without other light interference, and dark forests and lakes are necessary and sufficient conditions for visibility. I recommend that you can see it from the autumn equinox at the end of September to the spring equinox the following year. Tourists generally like to go in winter, mainly because there was no sunshine in the middle of the night in northern Norway. If you go in winter, I will recommend you to go to the winter solstice at the end of1February. Personally, I think these solar terms in China are always amazing. The interaction between the sun and the moon is strong, and the probability of aurora is greater.

Where are you going? Theoretically, the northern part of Norway's aurora storm is stronger, so North Point and Tromso are good recommended places, and you can experience the extreme night by the way in winter. Actually, you don't have to go to a specific place to see it. The most amazing personal experience was seen in Oslo, the capital of southern Norway, on September 20th, but it was the feeling of green jumping on the horizon instead of the sky. In a big city like Oslo, there is no condition to see the aurora, mainly because I know there will be a strong aurora that night. A good friend of mine told me that his family had seen the aurora, so I took the subway to the lake at the end of the subway station far from the city center and saw the aurora.

There is no charge for seeing the aurora. Strictly speaking, it's just the fare for you to arrive at the place you choose to watch and then wait patiently in a place where you can't see your fingers. Of course, if it is a specially organized tour group to see the aurora, it is another matter. In a high-consumption country like Norway, the tour fare will not be cheap, depending on the project you participate in. There must be such tour groups in North Point and Tromso, and there must be such small advertisements everywhere in your residence and local tourist information center, but usually it is not just to see the aurora. There may be a motorcycle to take you to see polar bears or something, so the tour fee ranges from several hundred kronor to several kilograms. Then there is the glass-topped hotel where you choose to watch the aurora indoors. I've only heard of it, and I've never really liked it. This is what you call aurora viewing fee. In short, you can watch the aurora for free or spend a lot of money, depending on the way you choose to watch it.

Other useful supplements to see the aurora forecast are more useful than choosing the time and place, and you can see the aurora intensity that night. My Norwegian friend said that aurora exists every day, but the intensity is different, which is not necessarily suitable for naked eye observation.
