Question 1

Which is the best month to see the Northern Lights?

Accepted Answer

During the northern lights season (August - April) there is no better month than another, in reality it is very common to see them. There is a greater possibility of seeing auroras during the days of the new moon (7 days before and 7 after), that is when there is less light. You can check the calendar of the moon in: https://www.calendario-365.es/luna/lunar-fases.html

Question 2

Is it 100% sure that I will be able to see the northern lights?

Accepted Answer

It is very common, but it is not 100% sure. We must remember that this is a natural phenomenon, and nature will always have an unknown part that we still don&#x27;t decipher. The probability of seeing northern lights is always latent, that is why in this adventure we will look for them during the four nights.
