A Spectacular Year for the Northern Lights!
/
As you might have read on several sites, 2025 is shaping up to be a truly spectacular year for the Aurora Borealis in the Arctic region around Tromsø. According to the Norwegian Space Agency, we are currently heading toward a solar-maximum peak — meaning the charged particles from the sun are creating more frequent and intense auroras than in many years.
Here are a few exciting facts to spark your inspiration:
Solar activity peaks occur roughly every 11 years — and this cycle is right in that window for 2025.
The region around Tromsø is perfectly placed under the auroral oval, giving you one of the world’s best vantage points for the lights.
Experts now expect unusually high aurora-activity not only this season, but well into 2026 and beyond — so your chances for a show-stopping display are excellent.
Whether you’re out on the fjord, under clear mountain skies, or simply stepping outside your accommodation late at night — this year, you’re more likely than ever to witness shimmering curtains of green, purple and pink sweeping across the Arctic sky.
Stay tuned — the night sky is putting on a show you won’t want to miss.
