Why Kiruna

Sweden's northernmost town and a launch point for Abisko, Esrange and the Icehotel.

How much activity you need here

At 67.9° geographic latitude, Kiruna sits under the auroral oval: aurora is possible on any clear, dark night, even at Kp 0–1.

Best time to go

The northern aurora season runs from late August to mid-April, when nights are long enough to be truly dark. Around midwinter the sky can stay dark almost all day; in high summer the midnight sun makes viewing impossible.
