About this camera
Karasjok 360° panorama is a webcam shown on the operator's own site in Karasjok, Finnmark, Norway, run by Panomax (Karasjok).
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.
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.
Near Alta the aurora season runs from September to March, when the nights are dark enough. Polar night: Roughly late November to mid-January (similar latitude to Tromsø). Exact dates vary with location and the mountains on the horizon.
