About this camera
Saltfjellet weather camera (Yr) is a webcam shown on the operator's own site in Saltfjellet, Nordland, Norway, run by Norsk Luftambulanse (shown on Yr).
Over many years, aurora shows on about 40% of clear, dark nights at this camera's magnetic latitude (64°). 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.
