Experience the Magic of the Northern Lights
One of the most captivating natural phenomena, the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, is a spectacle that draws travellers from around the globe. The ethereal dance of lights across the Arctic sky is a sight that must be seen to be believed. At Aurora Queen Resort, our glass igloos provide an unparalleled vantage point for witnessing this celestial display. The transparent ceilings of our igloos allow guests to lie back in the comfort of their beds and gaze up at the shimmering lights, creating a truly immersive experience.
Understanding the science behind the Northern Lights can enhance your appreciation of this natural wonder. The lights are caused by charged particles from the sun colliding with the Earth’s atmosphere, resulting in a stunning array of colours. The best time to view the Northern Lights is during the winter months, from late September to early April, when the nights are longest and the skies are darkest. Our location in northern Finland offers optimal conditions for viewing, with minimal light pollution and clear skies.
