Auroracam @ Evatun – Dagali
Dagali, Buskerud, Norway

Norway aurora webcams
Northern lights cameras in Norway on one page, each with the aurora score where it stands.
Northern Norway sits right under the aurora oval, from the Lofoten and Vesterålen islands up to Tromsø, Lyngen and Alta in Finnmark. The coast is mild for the latitude but cloudy, so a webcam is the quickest way to see whether the sky over a fjord or mountain pass is clear before you drive out.
Most cameras here are Statens vegvesen road cameras on mountain passes and ferry quays, shown under the Norwegian open-data licence (NLOD), plus a handful of YouTube live streams from aurora camps. The season runs from late August to mid-April; in Tromsø the sun stays below the horizon from late November to mid-January.
51 cameras in our catalogue: 8 live streams, 24 open-licence stills and 19 on operators' sites.

Where to watch in Norway
Tromsø
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.
Lofoten Islands
Sharp peaks rising from the sea, beaches and red fishing cabins: one of Europe's most striking aurora photo settings. The trade-off is frequent cloud and wind, and logistics that are hard without a car.
Senja
Norway's second-largest island: Lofoten-style drama with far fewer people. Superb dark skies, but access and weather are challenging.
Alta
Finnmark's gateway, branded the "City of the Northern Lights" since 2000. Quieter than Tromsø, set slightly back from the open coast, with easy access to wide inland valleys.
