The ultimate guide to experiencing the magic of Northern Lights in December

The Northern Lights are a breathtaking natural light display that occurs when solar particles collide with Earth's magnetic field, creating colourful streaks of light across the night sky. Tromsø’s long winter nights from late September to April make it an ideal destination to see this magical light show. December offers the perfect setting, as the city experiences polar nights, ensuring darkness throughout the day for optimal viewing.
