The Northern Lights from Abisko

PictureThe Northern Lights in Abisko CC by US Embassy Sweden
Sitting smack dab in the center of The Aurora Zone, the Aurora Sky Station was voted the best place in the world to see the Northern Lights.

The town of Abisko is a popular tourist destination for one compelling reason: it is the central seat of the Aurora Borealis light show. The town has the perfect combination of location and climate to provide superior viewing opportunities. Nestled in a bowl-shaped valley surrounded by hills with winds clearing the skies regularly, the area is famed for the ideal microclimate that creates unobscured skies overhead.

A chairlift ride takes passengers from the town up the side of a mountain to the Aurora Sky Station some 20 minutes away. The lodge eliminates any chances of light pollution by having no electricity. It also lacks running water, but it functions as a restaurant, serving dinner or coffee to guests as they enjoy the green luminescence dominating the heavens overhead.
