\n\t\t\t\tSomewhere in the wild and rugged landscape around Narvik, there will be clear weather and an excellent chance of seeing the Northern Lights. Join a Northern Lights safari in the Narvik area. Spend the day exploring a stunning landscape with a dramatic history.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n

The topography around Narvik is more than a little crazy. The mountains soar 1,800 metres (5,905 ft) straight up out of the Ofotfjord to form some of our country’s wildest and most rugged landscapes. And not only is this spectacularly beautiful, it is also ideal for Northern Lights safaris. This is because Narvik’s Northern Lights guides can study the wind direction to work out where the best place is for a chance of clear skies. If snow clouds are looming in the north west, the skies might be clear in Skjomen. If the southerly wind is blowing clouds in over the city, the weather could be clear north of Gratangsfjell. When mild weather from the south west starts to melt the icicles on the roofs, Sweden might be the solution. Cold snow from the east means that you can stand on the beach just outside the city and see the Northern Lights above the peaks on the other side of the fjord. Or for a more relaxing alternative, you could visit the Sami of Njalasuoka, drink coffee beside the camp fire in a ‘lavvo’ tent, <\/p>\n\n\n\t
