The peculiarity of this natural phenomenon attracts many nature lovers, who face the cold of the extreme latitudes. Are you amongst them? Here the 10 most fascinating places to admire the northern light.<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Everyone dreams to see, at least once, the <strong>northern lights<\/strong>. But what are they, exactly? The northern lights are a subset of the <strong>polar lights<\/strong>. These extraordinarily beautiful phenomena happen also in the southern hemisphere and are called southern lights. They are <strong>optical phenomena<\/strong> caused by the arrival of solar protons and electrons in Earth\u2019s atmosphere. In particular, in the <strong>ionosphere<\/strong> the interaction makes the gas turn into light, giving birth to these ever-changing bright stripes.<\/p>\n<p>To better admire the lights, you must go up to <strong>60\u00b0-70\u00b0 latitude North<\/strong>, around the equinoxes (February to March and September to October), but in some places you can see them all year long. Due to the <strong>Sun\u2019s cycle<\/strong>, which takes 11 years, we can see from the Earth the northern lights with a different intensity every year. They never go completely away, but they can become more difficult to find. Let\u2019s see together the <strong>10 best places<\/strong> to look for these amazing lights.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Into the wild of Alaska<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_21568\" class=\"thumbnail alignnone\"><img class=\"wp-image-21568 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/paxson-woelber-536725-unsplash-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"Northern lights in Alaska\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/paxson-woelber-536725-unsplash-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/paxson-woelber-536725-unsplash-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><div class=\"caption\">Northern lights in Alaska, photo by Paxson Woelber on Unsplash<\/div><\/div>\n<p>The largest State of the USA is also the least populated. Here the queen is <strong>unspoiled nature<\/strong>: forests, lakes and mountains always covered with snow. Thanks to its difficult and uninhabitable environment, Alaska is the motherland for many species of plants and animals, especially bears. Since the time of gold diggers, it\u2019s the favorite destination of those who want to flee from society\u2019s strict rules.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>When and where<\/strong><\/span>: The best place to admire the northern lights in Alaska is the <strong>Denali National Park<\/strong>, the natural park around the highest mountain of the entire American continent. Thanks to the isolation from the residential areas, the light pollution is almost non-existent. Here in Alaska, you can see the northern lights already in the beginning of August.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Must do<\/strong><\/span>: A train journey along the <strong>White Pass &amp; Yukon Route Railway<\/strong>. Even 119 years after, it is still considered one of the most spectacular railways on Earth and an engineering wonder. You will explore the unforgettable landscape made of canyons, forests and glaciers of America\u2019s last frontier.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Greenland, men\u2019s land<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_21586\" class=\"thumbnail alignnone\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-21586\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/Northern-lights.jpg\" alt=\"Northern lights\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/Northern-lights.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/Northern-lights-536x302.jpg 536w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/Northern-lights-570x320.jpg 570w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/Northern-lights-344x194.jpg 344w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><div class=\"caption\">Northern lights, ph. by Tomas Malik, via unsplash<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. It\u2019s the largest island of the planet, but it\u2019s also the least populated country, mostly by Inuit populations. A Viking exile gave the name \u201cGreen Land\u201d: this testimony and other archeological evidence prove that in the past, thanks to milder climate, the areas <strong>always covered with ice<\/strong>, were once soft green meadows.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>When and where<\/strong><\/span>: You can see the northern lights all around the year, but they are especially intense from August to October. We suggest going in the small village of <strong>Kulusuk<\/strong>, near the Apusiajik glacier: it\u2019s just a 40-minute walk away from the airport that connects it with Reykjav\u00edk.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Must do<\/strong><\/span>: Visit the <strong>Ice Canyon<\/strong>, one of the most beautiful places in the whole planet. In summer, crystal-clear water fills the bottom of the canyon and it\u2019s almost like a real river, flowing between 40-meter-high ice walls.<\/p>\n<h2>3. The lights\u2019 show in Canada<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_21569\" class=\"thumbnail alignnone\"><img class=\"wp-image-21569 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/emily-hon-650064-unsplash-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"Northern lights in Canada\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/emily-hon-650064-unsplash-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/emily-hon-650064-unsplash-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><div class=\"caption\">Northern lights in Canada, photo by Emily Hon on Unsplash<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Canada, the second largest country in the world, is mainly flat and has particularly cold winters: in its northern parts, the snow never melts. In the North, the landscape is characterized by the <strong>tundra<\/strong>; animals and plants are similar to those you can find in Continental Europe, with the exception of grizzly and polar bears. It\u2019s a really <strong>advanced country<\/strong>, always in the first places of economical and human development world charts.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>When and where<\/strong><\/span>: To see the best of the northern lights, you should wait until the equinoxes or the winter months, when the nights are darker (but also colder). The best places are <strong>Lake Superior<\/strong>\u2019s shores and <strong>Whitehorse<\/strong>, in the Yukon Province. The perk of this little town is its subarctic climate: clouds and rains happen very rarely, so you\u2019ll have a higher probability to see the lights playing.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Must do<\/strong><\/span>: Visit <strong>Fundy Bay<\/strong> and the wide tide variations, amongst the greatest in the world. The difference between high and low tide arrives up to 16 m! You shouldn\u2019t miss the chance to see the surreal landscapes revealed by the sea as it recedes.<\/p>\n<h2>4.

Often enshrouded in mist, they give to their visitors romantic and mysterious landscapes.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">When and where<\/span><\/strong>: Near the equinoxes, the northern lights are brighter and you can see them almost from every point in the archipelago. Thanks to the low density of villages and houses, the lights can play in the sky <strong>undisturbed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Must do<\/strong><\/span>: If you love trekking and walks, we suggest you to challenge yourself and try to reach <strong>Mulafossur Falls<\/strong>. The 3-kilometer-long path is quite steep and a little unsteady in some points. If you have small children, but you don\u2019t want to miss the chance to admire this enchanted place, you can easily reach the Falls by car or public transports.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Iceland, the land of fire and ice<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_21570\" class=\"thumbnail alignnone\"><img class=\"wp-image-21570 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/jonatan-pie-224170-unsplash-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"Northern lights in Iceland\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/jonatan-pie-224170-unsplash-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/jonatan-pie-224170-unsplash-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><div class=\"caption\">Northern lights in Iceland, photo by Jonatan Pie on Unsplash<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Iceland is the northernmost island of Europe. It\u2019s located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a volcanic chain that crosses from North to South the entire Atlantic plate. Thanks to its particular geographic position, it\u2019 characterized by many <strong>active volcanoes next to glaciers<\/strong> and glacial rivers. This extraordinary contrast makes Iceland one of the most fascinating places in the world. Considering its latitude, the climate is temperate, thanks to the warming action of the Gulf Stream. The <a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/turf-houses\/\" target=\"_blank\">Turf Houses<\/a>, typical of this islands, are one of the first examples of green architecture in the planet.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>When and where<\/strong><\/span>: To better see the northern lights, you need dark skies. Due to Iceland\u2019s high latitude, during summer the sky is light even at night, so the best period to hunt the colorful lights is from September to April. You can see them also from <strong>Reykjav\u00edk<\/strong>\u2019s center, even though on the shores they\u2019re brighter. One of the visitor\u2019s favorite spot is the <strong>iceberg lagoon J\u00f6kuls\u00e1rl\u00f3n<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Must do<\/strong><\/span>: <strong>Seljavallalaug<\/strong> is the island\u2019s ancient thermal pool and collects warm water since 1923. It is never as crowded as the more famous Blue Lagoon, but it is very evocative: it\u2019s situated in a narrow valley and to reach it, you need to trek along a not too demanding path.<\/p>\n<h2>6. The dance in the sky in Russia<\/h2>\n<p>Russia is the widest country in the world; it goes from Eastern Europe, across Northern Asia, to the Pacific Ocean. Thanks to its broad surface, there are many different climatic regions, landscapes, animal and vegetal species. Mostly flat, in the northern parts you can easily see the traces of <strong>ancient Ice Ages<\/strong>. Human settlements are mostly present in the European side, while the largest region, Siberia, is mainly empty.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>When and where<\/strong><\/span>: Near the equinoxes, around 20 March and 20 September. During the high peaks of the Sun\u2019s cycle, the northern lights can be seen even past the Urals and in Siberia. In any case, you can see them in every region past the Polar Arctic Circle. <strong>Murmansk<\/strong> is the area closest to Moscow, while in <strong>Archangel\u2019sk<\/strong> you have the highest chances to see the lights, thanks to its clear winter nights. To enjoy them even more, you should travel north, along the <strong>River Dvina<\/strong>, far from human residential areas. You can reach it by plane, from Moscow or Saint Petersburg.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Must do<\/strong><\/span>: A visit to Lake Baikal, in Siberia. It\u2019s the deepest freshwater basin in the world, up to 1500 m deep. It is one of Russia\u2019s 7 wonders and the perfect destination for those who love wild and unspoiled nature.<\/p>\n<h2>7.

In the northern part, there is the <strong>Lapland region<\/strong>, which extends across Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. Finland\u2019s territory is a uniform upland, due to the glacial activities that have always characterized these areas.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>When and where<\/strong><\/span>: From September to March the northern lights can be spot every two nights in the northern areas of Lapland, but even in the southern region, you can see them at least 10 times a year.

The main part of its territory is covered with forests, almost entirely protected by natural parks and reserves, to safeguard their biodiversity. In the West, the chain of the <strong>Scandinavian Alps<\/strong> separates Sweden from Norway. They\u2019re ancient mountains, so there is no particularly high peak. Stockholm, the capital, is built on hundreds of tiny islands, connected through many bridges to the mainland.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>When and where<\/strong><\/span>: From Mid-September to the end of March, the best place to see the lights is <strong>Abisko<\/strong>, in the Swedish Lapland. Thanks to its dark nights and the near lake, the show of the northern lights is incredible. An example is the <strong>Blue Hole<\/strong> of Abisko, created thanks to the presence of the lake.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Must do<\/strong><\/span>: A <strong>bike tour of Koster Islands<\/strong>, where you can find the only Marine National Park of Sweden, characterized by its biodiversity.

The climate is warmed by the action of the Gulf Stream, but is characterized by frequent rains and the northern and western areas are amongst the windiest in the entire Europe.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>When and where<\/strong><\/span>: In the <strong>Donegal County<\/strong>, you will find the perfect conditions to admire the lights. Its wild landscapes give an unbeatable background to the lights\u2019 shows. Our advice is to go up to <strong>Inishowen Peninsula<\/strong>, the least populated of the county, to distance yourselves from any source of artificial light. In some periods, the northern lights go far south along the coast, almost up to the Cliffs of Moher, a spectacular place looking over the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Must do<\/strong><\/span>: A fun experience that\u2019s worth a try, is the crossing of the <strong>rope bridge Carrick-a-Rede<\/strong>, which connects the mainland and a small rocky island since the end of 1700. It is 18 m long and 25 m high on the sea surface and it allows you to admire stunning landscapes from a different perspective.
