See auroras in Norway
Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) will fly from Narita airport to two Norwegian cities famous for the aurora borealis this winter. These direct flights will connect Tokyo with aurora-viewing areas near Evenes and Lakselv airports in just 10 hours.
The natural beauty, seen only in high latitude areas, appears in Norway quite often and as early as 5 p.m., a reasonable time when people are awake. Sunspot activities become active every 11 years, the same cycle as the frequency of auroras. The three years from 2011 will see frequent auroras, according to the national institute of the polar region, which has observation stations above the Arctic Circle.
