Guided Northern Lights Hunt from Kemijärvi

Discover one of the Arctic's most magical experiences with an expert guide to lead the way on this amazing guided Northern Lights hunt from Kemijärvi! The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon visible only in the northern hemisphere of the planet, occurring due to the interaction between the Earth's atmosphere and particles from the sun. This reaction produces colorful lights in the northern sky that can be visible above Arctic cities, but are more likely found in the wilderness, away from light pollution and clouds. For this reason, Kemijärvi, a small but vibrant town in Finnish Lapland, is ideal to start a Northern Lights hunt, as the town is surrounded by Arctic wilderness and it is easy to leave it behind in order to find dark expanses where the Aurora may manifest in all its glory.
