About this ebook
Make your northern lights bucket list dreams come true.
You’ve seen the stunning photographs, now it’s time to experience the magic of the northern lights for yourself. But where on earth can you see them? When's the best time to travel? And what exactly are the aurora borealis?
Written by night-sky and astrotourism experts Jamie Carter, Bailey Berg, and Valerie Stimac, Chasing the Northern Lights combines aurora expertise with destination know-how to help you plan an unforgettable adventure.
Inside you’ll discover:
- the top places to see the lights, including Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Canada, and Alaska, as well as the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Scotland, and the Continental US
- the best times to travel and how to forecast the aurora, without needing a scientific background
- expert aurora chasing advice, such as how to choose the right tour, how to photograph the lights, and what to pack for a trip
- inspiring ideas for what to do when the lights don't show, from whale watching in Reykjavík to a brewery tour in Svalbard
- a curated selection of remarkable places to stay, from glass igloos to ice hotels
- a digestible guide to the aurora borealis, exploring the science, myths, and stories behind the phenomenon
Filled with spectacular glossy photography and finished with shimmering holofoil lettering that evokes the movement and color of the aurora, this gorgeous book is as beautiful to give and display as it is useful to plan with.
If “seeing the northern lights” has always been on your bucket list but you don't know where to start, then Chasing the Northern Lights is the book for you.
