Nothern Lights Tour - £27.00 Per Person
Duration: 2 ½ - 3 Hours. Operation: 01 October - 15 March.
Departures: Daily. 21:00 Hours.
The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, are a spectacular natural phenomenon, often seen dancing
around in fantastic colours across the Arctic Sky. The Northern Lights originate from the sun, where large explosions and
electronic storms throw flares and solar particles deep into space. The clouds of solar particles are caught by the Earth’s
magnetic field on the south and north poles. The solar particles collide with the atmospheric gases and create this
wonderful light effect, known as the Aurora Borealis. Note: The Northern Lights can be seen when certain weather
conditions are fulfilled, usually during crispy cold and very still evenings. Subject to the correct weather
conditions for sightings this tour will operate.
