About this camera
RISK clubhouse camera – Luossavaara, Kiruna is a live YouTube stream in Luossavaara, Kiruna, Sweden, run by RISK – Riksgränsen Snowboard och Skidklubb.
Over many years, aurora shows on about 50% of clear, dark nights at this camera's magnetic latitude (65°). That is a long-term average, not a forecast: tonight's chance is next to the camera.
Sweden's northernmost town, built on mining and now moving because of it. The Icehotel, Esrange space centre and nearby Abisko make it a solid base for an aurora trip.
Near Kiruna the aurora season runs from September to March, when the nights are dark enough. Polar night: The sun stays below the horizon for about three weeks, roughly 11 December to 1 January (our calculation; Visit Sweden gives a broader "early December to early January"); snow, moonlight and a brief blue hour still light the landscape.
