Located in Swedish Lapland, Kiruna is an ideal starting point for exploring the Arctic wilderness and searching for the Northern Lights. Beyond the town, vast forests and open landscapes offer opportunities to escape artificial light and enjoy the darkness of the Northern winter sky. The region's long winter nights provide the conditions needed for Aurora viewing, while its peaceful natural surroundings create a memorable setting for outdoor experiences.

Your experience begins in Kiruna, where you'll meet your guide and board the vehicle for the journey into the surrounding wilderness. Travelling away from Kiruna, you'll explore the surrounding countryside in search of a location with favourable weather conditions and a good view of the night sky. During the drive, you'll take part in an introduction to smartphone night photography, learning about composition and how to adjust your phone's settings for low-light conditions.

Once you arrive at the designated location, you will receive a tripod to help keep your phone steady during long exposures. Your guide will be on hand to offer practical advice on focus, framing and settings, helping you put what you've learned into practice under the Arctic sky.

Once settled, you'll take part in a traditional fire-making activity, learning how to start a fire using traditional materials. With your guide's assistance, you will try to ignite a fire without matches. It's a fun and engaging way to experience traditional wilderness skills associated with life in the Northern wilderness. As the fire gets going, you will enjoy a tasting board featuring local Lappish delicacies such as reindeer, moose, cloudberry jam, and cheese, accompanied by hot drinks to help keep you warm up as you enjoy the peaceful surroundings. It's a chance to discover some regional flavours while taking a break from photographing the Night sky.

Throughout the evening, you'll have the opportunity to practise your photography skills while your guide captures professional portraits of the group under the stars. These high-resolution photographs will give you another way to remember the evening, alongside the pictures you take yourself.

At the end of the experience, you'll return to Kiruna with new photography skills, a taste of Lapland and a collection of memories from the magical Arctic night. Turn your Northern Lights evening into something more than just a search for the Aurora! Learn how to capture the Arctic sky with your smartphone, try your hand at traditional fire-making and savour the flavours of Lapland around an open fire.
