Fv82 Fiskebøl ferjekai is an open-licence still camera with a new image every minute in Fiskebøl ferry quay, Lofoten, Norway, run by Statens vegvesen.
Over many years, aurora shows on about 65% of clear, dark nights at this camera's magnetic latitude (66°). That is a long-term average, not a forecast: tonight's chance is next to the camera.
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.
Near Lofoten Islands the aurora season runs from September to April, when the nights are dark enough. Polar night: Around Svolvær there is a short polar night of a few weeks around the solstice; villages shaded by mountains go without direct sun for longer.
