No matter how many great sights this world has, the Northern Lights are like a firefly in the darkness — they always stand out. When you witness the Aurora Borealis with your own eyes, the night sky constantly shifts and changes colors, and that breathtaking experience is truly unforgettable.
To chase the aurora, Finland in Northern Europe has always been a popular choice. And since you’re there, it’s even better to explore other Nordic countries like Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Jetour will be organizing10 a 10-day Nordic Aurora-Chasing Tour this Christmas, as well as at the end of January 2017 and during the Lunar New Year period. It covers the four Nordic countries — Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. In addition to chasing the aurora, you’ll also ride an icebreaker, visit Santa Claus Village, and stay in a traditional igloo modeled after the homes of the Eskimos. All of these are rare experiences!
When the aurora erupts, it can cover the entire night sky, with colors shifting and alternating continuously. Being there in person is definitely an unforgettable life moment!
It’s worth mentioning that the itinerary includes accommodations in glass dome rooms and glass cabins. The Rovaniemi Glass Igloo is a 180° glass-domed cabin, with each room being an independent unit equipped with its own bathroom. The best part is that you can comfortably lie down and easily wait for the surreal and elusive aurora, without having to endure the cold outside — a thoughtful arrangement.
Snow-covered Finland, paired with the dancing blue auroras, is truly one of life’s most beautiful sights.
