Over many years, aurora shows on about 75% of clear, dark nights at this camera's magnetic latitude (71°). That is a long-term average, not a forecast: tonight's chance is next to the camera.

A small airport settlement at the head of a long fjord near the Greenland ice sheet. Known for clear skies thanks to its continental climate, but one of the hardest destinations for access and visas.

Near Kangerlussuaq the aurora season runs from September to March, when the nights are dark enough. Polar night: Although just north of the Arctic Circle, it has no true polar night; in December the sun rises only briefly, just above the horizon.
