I love to travel and there is a lot of places which I would like to visit. Today I want to tell you about one of them. Although I belong to the groupe of people who prefer warm climate, I really dream of visit Northern Norway. And the reason for which I want to go there are auroras. I dream of seeing them with my own eyes since I was a child :)
The best season to observe the auroras is between late autumn and early spring and the best time is from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. As this phenomenon comes out above clouds, its visibility is better when the sky is clear.
I've read that there are two places in Northern Norway where are the best vantage points. These are two counties: Finnmark and Troms. The auroras come out there almost every day (I don't know if 'day' is a proper term considering the polar nights which occur there from November to January). What's more these two regions offer also remarkable landscapes and the possibility to see interesting animals like reindeers, mooses, red foxes, stoats etc.
And you? What is your dream destination?:)
I've read somewhere that you can watch auroras also in Poland, but they are rar and if apear, they do that on the north of our country, on the coast. I would like to see whales, what is possible if I get to Iceland, which means flying. But I'm scared of flying. Usually my dream destination is my bed, because I'm stay-at-home. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see Norway too! I like warm places but there is something fascinating in these austere landscapes.
ReplyDeleteNorway, wow... must be incredible. My dream is Peru ...Nazca Lines. You heard about it? :)
ReplyDeleteIt's true that there were some opportunities to see aurora borealis in Poland recently (I've seen some pictures made outside Gniezno!), but everyone would rather go to those beautiful, pristine places instead, and meet reindeer and moose on their path :)
