About this ebook
Where should you go? What time of year is best? How many nights should you stay? Should you book a tour or try to see the Lights on your own? And what can you do to improve your chances of actually seeing them?
Northern Lights: Your Practical Guide to Seeing the Aurora Borealis gives you the practical information you need to plan your own aurora adventure.
Longtime traveler and aurora hunter Keith Folse shares what he has learned from multiple trips in search of the Lights — including successful trips and some expensive mistakes.
You’ll learn how to:
* choose a good Northern Lights destination
* decide when to go and how long to stay
* understand the auroral oval and Kp Index
* choose accommodations and transportation
* decide between tours, packages, and going on your own
* dress for seriously cold weather
* use weather forecasts and aurora apps
* avoid common mistakes that can reduce your chances of seeing the Lights
This is not a coffee-table book filled with beautiful aurora photographs or a technical science book. It is a practical travel guide for people who want to see the Northern Lights for themselves.
