Arctic

Russian Lapland

Lovozero is the Saami center of the Murmansk region. There are no noisy cities, many deer.

A great opportunity to fish on the cleanest rivers and lakes, a good place to admire the Northern Lights (if you choose the right time to visit).

You can ride a quad bike. In winter, you can enjoy the Northern Lights on the polar night, in the summer the polar day is light day and night.

Hunting the Northern Lights tour

Some believe that in order to see the Northern Lights, it is enough to come to any point beyond the Arctic Circle at any time and it is in front of you.

Not so simple. The first thing to consider is solar activity. Since the appearance of the Northern Lights directly depends on this factor, ideally, you should choose the date of maximum activity of the sun.

Second - the weather should be cloudless, so that the clouds do not hide the shine.

The lights of the city do not allow to see the sky, because there are almost no chances to see in the cities.

The site tracks the Northern Lights by us on special resources that show information about the activity of the sun, which comes from satellites in real time. Scientists from the Geophysical Observatory of Lovozero, the only station in Russia studying the Northern Lights, taught us to get the most accurate indicators.

This site will offer you the best time to visit the Arctic.

You need to have warm clothes:

• underwear, thermal underwear as possible,
• warm shoes,
• a warm jacket and pants,
• warm gloves, and better mittens,
• warm headdress.

The Northern Lights are visible only on cloudless days. So, the clouds do not keep warm and expect those frosty days.
