Auroras en enero

- Isla de Skye 🇬🇧 Reino UnidoAurora season · 15 Sep – 31 Mar (normalmente)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

- Trondheim 🇳🇴 NoruegaAurora season · 15 Sep – 31 Mar (normalmente)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
- Reikiavik 🇮🇸 IslandiaAurora season · 1 Sep – 31 Mar (normalmente)Dark enough to see them from roughly September to mid-April, cloud permitting, which is the part nobody can book.31

- Anchorage 🇺🇸 Estados UnidosAurora season · 20 Ago – 15 AbrFrom late August the nights are dark enough again.30
- Húsavík 🇮🇸 IslandiaAurora season · 10 Sep – 5 Abr (normalmente)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

- Cuchillo amarillo 🇨🇦 CanadáAurora season · 15 Ago – 10 Abr (normalmente)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
- Fairbanks 🇺🇸 Estados UnidosAurora season · 21 Ago – 21 AbrSitting 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
- Parque nacional y reserva Denali 🇺🇸 Estados UnidosWinter aurora season · 21 Oct – 9 Abr (normalmente)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
- Tromsø 🇳🇴 NoruegaAurora season · 15 Sep – 5 Abr (normalmente)Directly under the auroral oval, so a quiet night still shows something from September to early April.24
- Múrmansk 🇷🇺 RusiaAurora season · 1 Sep – 10 Abr (normalmente)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

- Parque nacional y reserva Puertas del Ártico 🇺🇸 Estados UnidosAurora season · 1 Nov – 31 MarNovember 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
- Nuuk 🇬🇱 GroenlandiaAurora season · 10 Sep – 10 Abr (normalmente)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
