Passage 1: The Northern Lights‌

Text:‌

On many travelers' lists of things to do before they die, you'll find "see the northern lights" written down. Rightfully so, these lights are one of nature's most jaw-dropping views. In Sweden, the northern lights usually appear from late March or early April. Your best chance of catching a glimpse of them is on cold winter nights when the sky is clear, dark with little to no moonlight, and cloudless. You need to be away from city lights and go to the countryside. For those willing to brave the cold on winter nights, here are some of the best locations.

Abisko National Park is a main location. The scientifically confirmed "blue hole", a piece of sky over the Tornetrask lake that usually remains clear despite cloudy weather nearby, gives Abisko its own microclimate, which is suitable for catching the lights.

Jukkasjarvi is another great spot. The village of Jukkasjarvi is home to the world's first ice hotel, which is made entirely of snow and ice.
