Experience the Silent Beauty of Lapland
Planning safaris in Lapland winter feels like entering a fairytale world filled with fantastic creatures amidst an endless snowy forest. From a sleigh ride by reindeer to speeding around the trees on snowmobiles, Lapland tours offer so many adventures to experience. Likewise, most vacationers want to visit Lapland to experience its silent beauty, i.e., The Northern Lights.
However, the seasons in the Arctic Circle are different from the rest of the world. The summer is short; but intense, and it experiences 24-hour sunlight for a few weeks. If you’re taking a Lapland safari tour in summer, you can witness the spectacular natural phenomenon, i.e., The Midnight Sun. But when the summer ends, nights get longer and longer very quickly. It indicates the arrival of the Northern Lights season.
The Seasonal Sightings of the Northern Lights
Aurora Borealis is a natural phenomenon closed connected to the Arctic areas. You can‘t see the Northern Lights during summer because of the lack of darkness. Generally, Rovaniemi gives attractive opportunities to experience the natural show of Mother Nature.
In the early days, vacationers visit Lapland hoping to see Auroras during September, thinking that nights are dark enough. Whenever you ask a traveler about their experience with the Northern Lights, you will get the same answer, i.e., the experience is surreal and unforgettable. And it’s true.
However, the Northern Lights season starts in September and ends in April. This period brings many changes to the Arctic areas, so the season is very diverse. In the beginning, the site is filled with striking reflections of Finnish lakes at the end of summer. After that, the bits of snow, freezing surroundings, polar nights, and fantastic ending in the early spring take charge when nature awakes.
The diversity of witnessing the Northern Lights is very intense. Every time you see the Northern Lights, you will feel like it’s something unique. You can see it thousands of times, but the impression remains unchanged. You will feel like the world around you has stopped, and the only things you experience that are hard to describe are happiness and peace of mind.
During the nights filled with Northern Lights, you will get the chance to share these special moments with strangers in the dark places of Lapland.
