About this camera
Lyngen North northern lights camera is a live YouTube stream in Rotsund near the Lyngen Alps, Norway, run by Lyngen North.
Over many years, aurora shows on about 75% of clear, dark nights at this camera's magnetic latitude (67°). That is a long-term average, not a forecast: tonight's chance is next to the camera.
An Arctic city right under the auroral oval, with plenty of flights and tours. An easy first base, but the coast is often cloudy, so plan to chase clear skies inland.
Near Tromsø the aurora season runs from September to March, when the nights are dark enough. Polar night: Roughly 27 November – 15 January (Visit Tromsø). Because of the surrounding mountains, the sun is usually not visible from the centre until later in January.
