Northern lights

Experiencing the Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights, in East Greenland is a true spectacle of nature that is bound to leave any viewer awestruck. From the mid of September through the end of winter, usually around late April, the night sky in East Greenland is frequently set ablaze with the ethereal glow of the Northern Lights. This dance of light, created by charged particles from the sun interacting with the Earth’s magnetic field, paints the sky in vibrant hues of green, purple, and sometimes red. As the lights undulate across the Arctic sky, they create a mesmerizing display that’s a definite highlight for any visitor to East Greenland. Whether you’re an avid stargazer or simply a lover of natural beauty, witnessing this celestial spectacle is a magical, unforgettable experience. Northern Lights will be all around you during your winter adventure in East Greenland, just remember to look up during the nights skies. You might even spot them from your livingroom window after a long day out in the snowy winter landscape of East Greenland, or head out on a tour during late hours to experience this enchanting illumination, courtesy of Mother Nature.
