Mysterious Aurora Borealis

The Andøya area is directly situated below the "auroral oval" at night, which makes this the best location to see the spectacular Northern Lights. Researchers and scientists come here from around the world.

Andøy Friluftssenter
Period: 25. Octoberber - 10. March

The phenomenon occurs in an oval around the earth's magnetic North Pole and rotates around it. The clash of solar winds with the earth's magnetic field pushes the oval towards the dark side of the planet, which rotates around the geographical North Pole.

During winter we offer you trips leading out into nature. While wandering in fantastic picturesque surroundings you may be lucky to experience the fascinating Northern Lights dancing over the polar sky.

According to your time schedule we are also able to offer you an overnight stay in the middle of nature including a snack and hot drinks around the open fire. We are able to provide outdoor equipment, such as sleeping bags. Please contact us for information in detail.
