They can be defined as shafts or curtains colored lights visible in the night sky during specific periods. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These lights are one of the most amazing wonders of nature that most people only get to see at least once in a lifetime. This is the case because the best chance you have of seeing the lights is at higher latitudes and places that are nearer to the poles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15172 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/heymondo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/lightscape-LtnPejWDSAY-unsplash_compressed.jpg\" alt=\"northern lights\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heymondo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/lightscape-LtnPejWDSAY-unsplash_compressed-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/heymondo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/lightscape-LtnPejWDSAY-unsplash_compressed-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/heymondo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/lightscape-LtnPejWDSAY-unsplash_compressed-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/heymondo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/lightscape-LtnPejWDSAY-unsplash_compressed.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_best_time_to_see_the_Northern_lights\"><\/span><b>What is the best time to see the Northern lights?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there is no definite research suggesting a particular time of the year when you can see the Northern lights, studies show that the <strong>period between December to March is a great time.<\/strong> This is the best period to witness the Northern lights because, during this period, the lights are visible to the human eye. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason why the lights are visible during these months is that they feature long nights. These months are also characterized by snow. This means that there are fewer clouds in the sky that could obscure the visibility of the lights. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the summer months, it is harder to see the lights because they are invisible. Therefore, there isn&#8217;t a specific time of the year when the lights appear and disappear, and the difference is that sometimes they are visible and other times they are not. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know the best times to travel to see these lights, it would be wise if you also made sure to <strong>get travel insurance<\/strong> before you take the trip.

The coastline road in Iceland is particularly a good location. The <strong>Kirkjufell mountain<\/strong> on the<strong> Western coast of Iceland and the Grotta Lighthouse<\/strong> are also superb places to see these lights.

This area is located two degrees below the arctic. It is easy to reach because it is located close to the international airport. In addition to the lights, Fairbanks, Alaska, also offers numerous tourist attractions that you can enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Canada\"><\/span><b>Canada<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canada is also an ideal location to view Aurora Polaris. This is mainly because of its northern latitude and low light pollution. <strong>Yellowknife<\/strong>, Canada, is mainly an incredible location to witness these lights. It also features a myriad of other special activities for tourists. Other locations in the country where you can view Aurora Polaris are <strong>Wood Buffalo and the Jasper National Park.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Greenland\"><\/span><b>Greenland<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Northern Greenland is one of the most visited places by tourists wishing to witness these polar lights.

This is thanks to the fact that it is close to the arctic circle and its moderate temperatures because of the gulf stream coastline. <strong>Ersfjordborn village<\/strong> is also a great location. Other significant viewing areas in Norway are <strong>Lofoten Island, Kirkenes, Alta, and the village of Nordkapp.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15174 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/heymondo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/jonatan-pie-EvKBHBGgaUo-unsplash_compressed.jpg\" alt=\"Northern lights\" width=\"598\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heymondo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/jonatan-pie-EvKBHBGgaUo-unsplash_compressed-200x134.jpg 200w, https:\/\/heymondo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/jonatan-pie-EvKBHBGgaUo-unsplash_compressed-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/heymondo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/jonatan-pie-EvKBHBGgaUo-unsplash_compressed-400x268.jpg 400w, https:\/\/heymondo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/jonatan-pie-EvKBHBGgaUo-unsplash_compressed.jpg 598w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_best_time_to_see_the_Southern_lights\"><\/span><b>What is the best time to see the Southern lights?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are a three-line of the lights found in the <strong>Antarctic circle<\/strong>. They are all part of the auroras Polaris like the Northern ones. The difference between these two is that the northern are found in the arctic circle while the latter is found in the Antarctic circle. Another difference lies in the areas where you can see these lights. These lights are visible in the southern hemisphere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best time to see the Southern light is<strong> between June and August.<\/strong> The Aurora can indeed be active throughout the year. However, between June and August, they are more visible. This period features clear and <strong>dark skies that allow the human eyes to witness the Aurora Polaris effortlessly.<\/strong> This means that a winter trip would be the best choice if you want to witness these lights.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Five_best_places_to_see_Southern_lights\"><\/span><b>Five best places to see Southern lights<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, some of the following places might be a bit wild and it\u2019s very important to always have your trip covered to avoid any problem or bad surprise.

Below are some of the best places close to the Antarctic circle, from which you will see this wonder of nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_Zealand\"><\/span><b>New Zealand<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A visit to New Zealand will also be an incredible ideal if you wish to witness Aurora. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Southern Island of New Zealand features some of the country&#8217;s darkest skies, making it the ideal location to see Aurora. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several viewing points spread out throughout this region. For instance, an incredible location would be the <strong>Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve<\/strong>. This area is one of the most conducive environments for dark-sky viewing. You can also visit the Aoraki Mount Cook National Park.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ushuaia\"><\/span><b>Ushuaia<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ushuaia, Argentina, is also an incredible location from where to view Aurora. This city is located on the <strong>\u00a0Coastal tip of Argentina,<\/strong> and it is the premier southern lights destination in the whole of South America. The main reason is that it gets 17 hours of darkness every day during the winter season. The city is also known for its cloudy and unpredictable weather.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tasmania\"><\/span><b>Tasmania<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The island of Tasmania is the only place in the world where you can see Aurora throughout the year. This is because of its suitable latitude and moderate daylight. That said, there are specific places in Tasmania where the lights are visible. For instance, <strong>Cockle Creek <\/strong>is an ideal viewing location. This location features a campground and national park from where most tourists witness Aurora. These areas feature the darkest of skies and other incredible attractions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Falkland_Islands\"><\/span><b>Falkland Islands<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Falkland Islands are <strong>one of the best places in the world to witness these lights.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The islands are isolated and sparsely populated yet some of the best tourist locations in the world. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fact that they lack significant development means that you will quickly locate the dark skies perfect for viewing Aurora. You have better chances of seeing the lights if you visit these islands between April and August. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While most people do not travel this far to see auroras, it would be an incredible adventure to<strong> plan a winter trip to this destination.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"South_Georgia\"><\/span><b>South Georgia<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Island of South Georgia is one of the <strong>most remote dark-sky viewing areas around the globe<\/strong>. The destination boasts of the darkest skies, which allows you to view the southern lights. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best time to visit this place if you are looking to view Aurora is in <strong>March<\/strong>. Note that this is a very remote place with less than 100 dwellers, and it is only accessible by boat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15175 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/heymondo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/nicolas-j-leclercq-va_nrBLonf8-unsplash_compressed.jpg\" alt=\"when to see northern lights\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heymondo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/nicolas-j-leclercq-va_nrBLonf8-unsplash_compressed-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/heymondo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/nicolas-j-leclercq-va_nrBLonf8-unsplash_compressed-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/heymondo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/nicolas-j-leclercq-va_nrBLonf8-unsplash_compressed-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/heymondo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/nicolas-j-leclercq-va_nrBLonf8-unsplash_compressed.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not so many people get to witness Aurora in their entire life.
