Polarlichter im Januar

  1. Inverness 🇬🇧 Vereinigtes KönigreichAurora on strong nights · 15. Sep. – 31. März (meist)Far enough north that a decent solar storm shows over the Moray Firth, but not far enough that it is routine.46
  2. Skye 🇬🇧 Vereinigtes KönigreichAurora season · 15. Sep. – 31. März (meist)Dark skies and a northern horizon over the Minch make Skye one of the better bets in Britain, on the nights the Atlantic cloud lets it through.44
  3. Edmonton 🇨🇦 KanadaAurora season · 1. Sep. – 10. Apr.Edmonton sits far enough north to catch the lights on active nights from September through the spring.34
  4. Trondheim 🇳🇴 NorwegenAurora season · 15. Sep. – 31. März (meist)Far enough south that it takes an active night rather than any dark one, but on those nights the lights are visible from the Bymarka hills fifteen minutes out of the centre.33
  5. Reykjavík 🇮🇸 IslandAurora season · 1. Sep. – 31. März (meist)Dark enough to see them from roughly September to mid-April, cloud permitting, which is the part nobody can book.31
  6. Akureyri 🇮🇸 IslandAurora season · 1. Sep. – 10. Apr. (meist)Dark enough from early September to April, and the fjord walls block the town's own light better than most places.31
  7. Anchorage 🇺🇸 Vereinigte StaatenAurora season · 20. Aug. – 15. Apr.From late August the nights are dark enough again.30
  8. Húsavík 🇮🇸 IslandAurora season · 10. Sep. – 5. Apr. (meist)Dark enough from mid-September, and the harbour and the hot pools above the town both look north over the bay with no streetlight in the way.30
  9. Bodø 🇳🇴 NorwegenAurora season · 15. Sep. – 5. Apr. (meist)Well north of the Arctic Circle, so the lights are overhead rather than on the horizon from September to early April.29
  10. Whitehorse 🇨🇦 KanadaAurora season · 20. Aug. – 10. Apr. (meist)Dark enough to see the lights from late August until the light comes back in spring, with a break either side of the solstice when it never really gets dark.28
  11. Churchill 🇨🇦 KanadaAurora season · 15. Aug. – 15. Apr.The town sits under the auroral oval and gets displays on a majority of clear nights.27
  12. Yellowknife 🇨🇦 KanadaAurora season · 15. Aug. – 10. Apr. (meist)It splits in two: late August to September, when the lights reflect off open lake water and the nights are mild, and the long cold half from November.27
  13. Fairbanks 🇺🇸 Vereinigte StaatenAurora season · 21. Aug. – 21. Apr.Sitting under the auroral oval, the town claims better than nine nights in ten over a three-night stay if you actually go out after midnight.27
  14. Denali-Nationalpark 🇺🇸 Vereinigte StaatenWinter aurora season · 21. Okt. – 9. Apr. (meist)The road is ploughed only to mile 3 and everything past it is skis, snowshoes or a dog team, with the winter visitor centre the one thing open.25
  15. Gemeinde Tromsø 🇳🇴 NorwegenAurora season · 15. Sep. – 5. Apr. (meist)Directly under the auroral oval, so a quiet night still shows something from September to early April.24
  16. Murmansk 🇷🇺 RusslandAurora season · 1. Sep. – 10. Apr. (meist)Well inside the auroral oval, but the city's own light and the Barents cloud work against you — the trips run out to Teriberka or the Lovozero side to get away from both.24
  17. Longyearbyen 🇸🇯 Svalbard und Jan MayenAurora season · 1. Okt. – 28. Feb.Far enough north that the lights appear in the middle of the day as well as at night through the darkest months.24
  18. Rovaniemi 🇫🇮 FinnlandAurora season · 25. Aug. – 10. Apr. (meist)Sitting on the Arctic Circle, the lights are a regular event rather than a rare one from late August to April.24
  19. Kiruna 🇸🇪 SchwedenAurora season · 1. Sep. – 5. Apr. (meist)Inland and dry, which is the real advantage over the coast: fewer cloudy nights than Norway at the same latitude, and the Abisko rain shadow an hour west is better again.24
  20. Ilulissat 🇬🇱 GrönlandAurora season · 15. Sep. – 10. Apr. (meist)The lights come back with the dark in late September and stay until the sun does in April.24
  21. Gates-of-the-Arctic-Nationalpark 🇺🇸 Vereinigte StaatenAurora season · 1. Nov. – 31. MärzNovember to March is the park's own answer for the northern lights, though with no road in most people watch from Coldfoot or Bettles and fly over in daylight.23
  22. Nuuk 🇬🇱 GrönlandAurora season · 10. Sep. – 10. Apr. (meist)Dark enough from September to April, and you only need to walk out past the last streetlights on the Qinngorput side to be clear of the town.23
  23. Vík í Mýrdal 🇮🇸 IslandAurora season · 1. Sep. – 10. Apr. (meist)Dark from September to April with sea and glacier on either side and almost no town light.23
  24. Kobuk-Valley-Nationalpark 🇺🇸 Vereinigte StaatenNorthern lights · 15. Sep. – 10. Apr. (meist)Long dark nights bring the aurora from late autumn to early spring.22
  25. Wrangell-St.-Elias-Nationalpark 🇺🇸 Vereinigte StaatenNorthern lights season · 25. Aug. – 15. Apr. (meist)Once the nights darken at the end of August the aurora can show over the park until April; the catch is that lodges, flights and visitor centres close by late September, so early autumn is the practical window.22

Polarlichter im Oktober

  1. Edmonton 🇨🇦 KanadaAurora season · 1. Sep. – 10. Apr.Edmonton sits far enough north to catch the lights on active nights from September through the spring.67
  2. Inverness 🇬🇧 Vereinigtes KönigreichAurora on strong nights · 15. Sep. – 31. März (meist)Far enough north that a decent solar storm shows over the Moray Firth, but not far enough that it is routine.63
  3. Trondheim 🇳🇴 NorwegenAurora season · 15. Sep. – 31. März (meist)Far enough south that it takes an active night rather than any dark one, but on those nights the lights are visible from the Bymarka hills fifteen minutes out of the centre.60
  4. Anchorage 🇺🇸 Vereinigte StaatenAurora season · 20. Aug. – 15. Apr.From late August the nights are dark enough again.57
  5. Whitehorse 🇨🇦 KanadaAurora season · 20. Aug. – 10. Apr. (meist)Dark enough to see the lights from late August until the light comes back in spring, with a break either side of the solstice when it never really gets dark.57
  6. Reykjavík 🇮🇸 IslandAurora season · 1. Sep. – 31. März (meist)Dark enough to see them from roughly September to mid-April, cloud permitting, which is the part nobody can book.56
  7. Skye 🇬🇧 Vereinigtes KönigreichAurora season · 15. Sep. – 31. März (meist)Dark skies and a northern horizon over the Minch make Skye one of the better bets in Britain, on the nights the Atlantic cloud lets it through.56
  8. Bodø 🇳🇴 NorwegenAurora season · 15. Sep. – 5. Apr. (meist)Well north of the Arctic Circle, so the lights are overhead rather than on the horizon from September to early April.56
  9. Gemeinde Tromsø 🇳🇴 NorwegenAurora season · 15. Sep. – 5. Apr. (meist)Directly under the auroral oval, so a quiet night still shows something from September to early April.52
  10. Yellowknife 🇨🇦 KanadaAurora season · 15. Aug. – 10. Apr. (meist)It splits in two: late August to September, when the lights reflect off open lake water and the nights are mild, and the long cold half from November.52
  11. Akureyri 🇮🇸 IslandAurora season · 1. Sep. – 10. Apr. (meist)Dark enough from early September to April, and the fjord walls block the town's own light better than most places.52

  14. Murmansk 🇷🇺 RusslandAurora season · 1. Sep. – 10. Apr. (meist)Well inside the auroral oval, but the city's own light and the Barents cloud work against you — the trips run out to Teriberka or the Lovozero side to get away from both.50
  15. Fairbanks 🇺🇸 Vereinigte StaatenAurora season · 21. Aug. – 21. Apr.Sitting under the auroral oval, the town claims better than nine nights in ten over a three-night stay if you actually go out after midnight.50
  16. Húsavík 🇮🇸 IslandAurora season · 10. Sep. – 5. Apr. (meist)Dark enough from mid-September, and the harbour and the hot pools above the town both look north over the bay with no streetlight in the way.50
  17. Nuuk 🇬🇱 GrönlandAurora season · 10. Sep. – 10. Apr. (meist)Dark enough from September to April, and you only need to walk out past the last streetlights on the Qinngorput side to be clear of the town.48
