Thanks for the video! Summon up memories: I grew up until I was 17 years old in the region, and since then lived abroad for 50 years, and I remember from childhood when, on a cold evening, coming and going to the outdoor sauna, we saw the northern lights in the sky, so we children were advised that when you whistle, the Northern Lights change their shape. Can you imagine when we sisters stood on a snow trail on a frosty night and tried to whistle with stiff lips, and you know what, the northern lights really changed shape! 😮😃😄
Try it yourself! 😁 ❤

Wow. If there was one video that anyone needs to watch before planning to see Northern Lights this is it ❤ Thanks so much for the relevant information in clear English. 😊

I just left Tromso yesterday, I went with your recommendation and opted for Tromso Frilusenter for the tour. We were lucky that out of 5 nights in Tromso, we saw northern lights four nights (the last night we were kind of lazy to go look for them), but the intensity was never as good as your 10/10. I stayed in Scandic as well, two of the nights I saw the northern lights just near the hotel, when we were walking around before and after dinner. So you were right that we dont have to go really far as Tromso is a really good place for catching and we were really lucky to be there when there was solar activities. Thanks for your tips, I had an awesome time in Tromso!

I am a Norwegian and I really appreciate this informative video. Some tourists seem to believe that you can see the Northern lights at any time in Northern Norway, which is not the case. I have been several times up north visiting friends in the winter but never seen the Northern lights there.

finally, the knowledge that's actually important. All points were amazing! Thanks!

I remember when I finally checked the northern lights off my bucket list at the beginning of 2022 in Iceland. I’ve seen a good show one of the nights, and a grayish haze the other nights, but I’ve seen even more intense shows from northern Minnesota, with the last one being so intense it filled the whole sky with fluorescent green pillars and pink flashes, lasting from dusk to dawn. At its peak, the sky looked like it was glitching from the extremely fast flashes combined with the jagged green pillars. The storm that caused those insane auroras ranked as G4 (Kp 8), the second strongest ranking for geomagnetic activity (Kp index ranges from 0-9). If seeing the northern lights is on your bucket list, make it happen. Seeing them is already breathtaking, but seeing an extremely strong aurora storm is something else.

Thanks for the advice. So helpful to someone like me that really wanted to see the northern lights and have this in my bucket list to see for long time. I am from the Philippines and now reside in Australia for over 30 years, which really don't have the winter that you have in that country. I wonder if I survive the cold. hahaha

Hello nice video! Just one note: kp is a 1-9 scale, and it indicates how far from the northern circle they can be visible. If it's 9 that means its a global storm and can even be seen from Turkey just like it did on November 6 2023, but if it's 1, and if you're in the polar circle, then you can still see it. Kp indicates how far it reaches outside northern circle. I saw many bright and green northern lights on kp levels 3-4 :) Have a nice day

I hope the person who try to see the northern light find this clip first. I went to Tromso for 3 nights but I didn't see that because It's very cloudy. Fortunately, I saw the northern light at Lofoten instead.Even KP index is low but finally I see them. This clip very helpful and I agree with you every 10 things. And thank the Norwegian that I bumped into, every person cross finger and bless me. haha 😄

Beautiful display over most of the UK past couple of nights very intense! I live in rural Midlands on vast farmland was enjoining it in my backgarden

Going to Tromso with my friends next month. Your videos are very informative and your Suggestions and Tips are helpful so I'm sharing it with them.
Thanks so much..

Thank you for your video as it explains things clearly for 'Aurora virgins'. I have experienced the Northern Lights in Tromso in 2019 and Iceland in 2022, but on December 1st 2023 I was able to see them from a hill just ten minutes away from my house in central Scotland. There was a G3 magnetic storm due around 9pm that evening and the Kp-index was expected to be 6.67. It was a cold frosty clear night and although there was bright moon and lots of light pollution, I succeeded in getting a nice series of four photos during the height of activity in the sky. I am looking forward to their being another opportunity during the next couple of months.
