Iconic spotExcellentChance of seeing the auroraOur estimate that you'll see the northern lights with your own eyes at this spot during the best window: a clear view of the sky, times aurora bright enough to see — which depends on activity, where the auroral oval is, and how dark the sky is. It's good to roughly ±10–15 points. Phone cameras pick up fainter aurora than your eyes.75% chance of seeing the aurora
