Abisko Northern light tour
Abisko is one of the best places in the world to experience the northern lights.
The latitude 68º north is really good to start with. The clear sky, “the blue hole over Abisko”, is another thing that helps. It doesn't occur every night but if it does…
The tour starts at 9pm from our hostel in Abisko. We put on snowshoes and head of into the polar night. Usually we see lots of tracks from the different wildlife that wander around Abisko. We stop and try to figure out which animal is going where.
After about 45 minutes we reach one of the good viewing points in the area and take something warm to drink while we wait… Hopefully the gods have been with us and we start our way back home, which we reach around 11.30 pm.
