With temperatures in the stratosphere being so low, water particles transform into tiny ice crystals in the air. As the sun dips below the horizon, its rays hit the crystals and refract, scattering the light into colorful, luminescent displays.

Lannavaara is a small village by the Lainio River, 200 km North of the Arctic Circle. Only 80 people live in the village year round and reindeer herding is the most common occupation. Aurora Mountain Lodge is located near the mountains of Lapland.

Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) are cloudsin the winter polar stratosphere at altitudes of 15,000–25,000 m (49,000–82,000 ft). They are best observed during twilight, when the Sun is between 1 and 6 degrees below the horizon, as well as in winter and in more northerly latitudes.

Aurora Borealis


Auroras occur when these charged particles launched along Earth's magnetic field collide with gases in Earth's upper atmosphere. Those collisions produce tiny flashes that fill the sky with colourful light.



Two hundred kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, you’ll find the world-famous Icehotel. Each icy room is an art installation showcasing the designs of some of the world’s most talented artists.
