The Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis is a spectacular display of colourful dancing lights that often magically appear in the night skies of the Arctic. The best time to witness this spectacle is between mid-September and mid-March. They can be witnessed throughout the entire Arctic region; however, we believe that one of the best places to see the lights is in Svalbard, the string of Norwegian islands between mainland Norway and the North Pole. Another destination blessed with frequent visits from these mysterious and unpredictable lights is Greenland.  The Midnight Sun is another natural phenomenon that only exists in the Arctic Circle and, the rarely visited Antarctic Circle. During the summer months, from the end of May, until the end of July, the sun never sets and so the Arctic is bathed in eternal summer sun.
