FAQ: Northern Lights in Abisko

When is the best season for the Northern Lights in Abisko?

From autumn to early spring, when nights are long and dark.

What matters more: Kp/Bz or cloud cover?

Cloud cover often comes first. Parameters matter only if you have a chance to see the sky.

Is Abisko really better for weather than the Norwegian coast?

Often it can be drier and clearer, but you should still follow the actual cloud map.

Can a camera see weak aurora better than the eye?

Yes. Even a short night-mode exposure can reveal color that is hard to see with the naked eye.

What should I pack for a quick aurora hunt?

Warm layers, gloves, a hat, a headlamp, reflective elements, a tripod and spare batteries.
