Where to see the northern lights
Six regions, each genuinely different — season, logistics, and the real Kp you need. Pick yours.
Northern US
Michigan to Washington — the core spike audience, and the honest Kp reality per state.
Alaska
Fairbanks sits under the oval — aurora on many clear dark nights, even at low Kp.
Canada
Yellowknife and the subarctic — world-class, clear, and high geomagnetic latitude.
Iceland
Ring-road accessible darkness, if you can beat the maritime clouds.
Nordics & Sápmi
Tromsø, Abisko's blue hole, Finnish Lapland — the sophisticate's choice.
Scotland & the UK
The Mirrie Dancers — lower latitude, so bring a camera and a storm.
