Northern lights at Ylläshumina
Dark skies, an open horizon over the lake, and the quiet of the fells — Ylläshumina is a peaceful place to watch the aurora.
The northern lights are a natural phenomenon, and their appearance can never be guaranteed. But the location of Ylläshumina — away from light pollution, with an open view over the frozen lake — makes it a wonderful place to watch and wait. Dress warmly, be patient, and let the Arctic sky do the rest.
