THE NORTHERN LIGHTS. HUNT WITH A CAMERA

What are the Northern Polar Lights?

It is a natural light display in the upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere that occurs when charged solar particles collide with atmospheric gases.

Where can you see such lights in Russia? The natural phenomenon of the Northern Lights can bee seen here, in Murmansk and Murmansk Oblast. Our region lies behind the Arctic Circle which makes it possible to see this splendid gift of nature from the end of August to the end of April.

Test your luck and chase down the Northern Lights to take a photo of it!

Preparation for the tour:

We thoroughly prepare every tour. On the day another tour starts, we study all relevant forecasts and conditions to choose the optimal starting time and location for the photo hunt. We monitor the lights in special apps that show solar activity and weather forecasts in order to find the best possible spot to observe the phenomenon. The place shouldn't be exposed to any lights from settlements nearby, and it has to be picturesque and easily accessible. Our company will make sure you have something to eat on our way to the place (hot tea and snacks). We'll also let you know when it's better to have some additional gear (clothes, shoes, headwear). Arctic Travel Guides will provide you with warm clothes and blankets if necessary. We can also prepare all relevant photo gear (cameras and charge stations).
