I will give you the best chance to see the northern lights. The Rovaniemi city area is often cloudy and full of light pollution, what makes it hard to observe the auroras. Therefore we will drive away from the city lights to find perfect spots where the sky is clear enough to see the auroras. I will choose the route according to the weather condition. Sometimes we need to go far in order to see something. I will keep an eye on the geomagnetic activity and the weather forecast. I will bring my camera and make pictures if we see northern lights.
