If you to wish to see the Northern Lights this winter, move north of the Arctic Circle. It’s up here, at around 66-69°, where the Earth's magnetic field channels electrically charged particles evicted from the sun.
Every other night and sometimes every night, the aurora borealis is visible in parts of Alaska, Russia, Scandinavia, and Northern Canada as moving, pulsing brown, green, and red drapes.
For viewing the Northern Lights, the sky must be clear which is not guaranteed, so whenever you plan to go to the Arctic Circle, stay for a week. You should know that the full moon falls on February 19, 2019, but do not worry about moonlight, you can go a week later or a week before, and you will definitely find the dark sky enough to amplify any views of aurora that are viewable to you.
There are dozens of reasons that make the February month perfect for hitting the Arctic Circle and waiting for one of the best displays of nature.
