什么时候上演
1月的极光季
- 因弗内斯 🇬🇧 英国Aurora on strong nights · 9月15日 – 3月31日(通常)Far enough north that a decent solar storm shows over the Moray Firth, but not far enough that it is routine.46
- 斯凯岛 🇬🇧 英国Aurora season · 9月15日 – 3月31日(通常)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
- 埃德蒙顿 🇨🇦 加拿大Aurora season · 9月1日 – 4月10日Edmonton sits far enough north to catch the lights on active nights from September through the spring.34
- 特隆赫姆 🇳🇴 挪威Aurora season · 9月15日 – 3月31日(通常)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
- 雷克雅未克 🇮🇸 冰岛Aurora season · 9月1日 – 3月31日(通常)Dark enough to see them from roughly September to mid-April, cloud permitting, which is the part nobody can book.31
- 阿克雷里 🇮🇸 冰岛Aurora season · 9月1日 – 4月10日(通常)Dark enough from early September to April, and the fjord walls block the town's own light better than most places.31
- 安克雷奇 🇺🇸 美国Aurora season · 8月20日 – 4月15日From late August the nights are dark enough again.30
- 胡萨维克 🇮🇸 冰岛Aurora season · 9月10日 – 4月5日(通常)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
- 博德 🇳🇴 挪威Aurora season · 9月15日 – 4月5日(通常)Well north of the Arctic Circle, so the lights are overhead rather than on the horizon from September to early April.29
- 白马市 🇨🇦 加拿大Aurora season · 8月20日 – 4月10日(通常)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
- 邱吉尔市 🇨🇦 加拿大Aurora season · 8月15日 – 4月15日The town sits under the auroral oval and gets displays on a majority of clear nights.27
- 黄刀镇 🇨🇦 加拿大Aurora season · 8月15日 – 4月10日(通常)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
- 费尔班克斯 🇺🇸 美国Aurora season · 8月21日 – 4月21日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
- 迪纳利国家公园和保留区 🇺🇸 美国Winter aurora season · 10月21日 – 4月9日(通常)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
- 特罗姆瑟 🇳🇴 挪威Aurora season · 9月15日 – 4月5日(通常)Directly under the auroral oval, so a quiet night still shows something from September to early April.24
- 摩尔曼斯克 🇷🇺 俄罗斯Aurora season · 9月1日 – 4月10日(通常)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
- 朗伊尔城 🇸🇯 斯瓦尔巴和扬马延Aurora season · 10月1日 – 2月28日Far enough north that the lights appear in the middle of the day as well as at night through the darkest months.24
- 罗瓦涅米 🇫🇮 芬兰Aurora season · 8月25日 – 4月10日(通常)Sitting on the Arctic Circle, the lights are a regular event rather than a rare one from late August to April.24
- 基律纳 🇸🇪 瑞典Aurora season · 9月1日 – 4月5日(通常)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
- 伊卢利萨特 🇬🇱 格陵兰Aurora season · 9月15日 – 4月10日(通常)The lights come back with the dark in late September and stay until the sun does in April.24
- 北极之门国家公园及保护区 🇺🇸 美国Aurora season · 11月1日 – 3月31日November 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
- 努克 🇬🇱 格陵兰Aurora season · 9月10日 – 4月10日(通常)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
- 维克 🇮🇸 冰岛Aurora season · 9月1日 – 4月10日(通常)Dark from September to April with sea and glacier on either side and almost no town light.23
- 科伯克谷國家公園 🇺🇸 美国Northern lights · 9月15日 – 4月10日(通常)Long dark nights bring the aurora from late autumn to early spring.22
- 蘭格爾-聖埃利亞斯國家公園暨保護區 🇺🇸 美国Northern lights season · 8月25日 – 4月15日(通常)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
