How to See the Northern Lights in the Right Way?

1. Plan your trip at the right time of the year. As described earlier, the best months to see northern lights are October, November, and February. It is best to avoid visiting Norway in December & January because it tends to get very cold and freezing

2. Check the forecast before you head out to watch the Northern Lights but do not completely rely on it. The weather tends to change frequently so look before you leap

3. Do not expect to see the Northern Lights on a single night. Plan your itinerary in such a way that you get at least 2-3 days to go check out the Northern Lights

4. Carry proper gear to sustain the harsh weather. The average temperature between autumn to winter ranges from -2 degrees Celsius to -3 degrees Celsius so ensure to carry winter boots, gloves, scarves, hats, jackets, sweaters, and anything that will keep you warm and alive!

5. Carry your camera if you want to capture the beauty of the Northern Lights. You’ll need a high sensitivity lens (high ISO) to be able to capture the colors of the aurora. But before you start capturing, spare a moment to enjoy the natural beauty of the phenomenon with your bare eyes.

6. Have a little patience, well actually have a lot of patience, the Northern Lights will only appear if the sky is clear and the weather is favorable so cross your fingers and keep hoping for it to happen.
