Can you really appreciate northern lights under the extreme cold weather in the Arctic Circle? People who fear the cold rarely travel to places where temperatures drop below minus 20 degrees Celsius. The good news is: there is indeed a place famous for its high frequency and intensity of northern lights, Mother Nature's light show, where temperatures are above zero. The "warm land" is known as the "Aurora Capital": Tromso, Norway.

Though at the northern end of Norway, Tromso won't make you feel extremely cold because of the North Atlantic warm current passing by. Even in the coldest winter, the port will not be frozen. In winter, the average temperature here is around 0-degree centigrade. Known as the warmest destination in the world to see the aurora, Tromso is the best place to chase the magic for those who are afraid of the chilliness.

The aurora season begins in September and lasts until next April, and now it's the time of the aurora explosion. Besides, Tromso is surrounded by snow mountains and fjords. During the period of the extremely long nights, it's also the best time for shutterbugs to capture the beauty of the city.

There are three types of aurora experiences offered to visitors in Tromso. A bus trip with a tour group is the most efficient way. The professional tour guide will choose different stops according to the hourly weather forecast to make sure visitors can see the aurora.

For those who love to go on an adventure, a cruise out on the sea would be best. When the aurora lights up, the color of the ocean and sky fuse, while the ship is moving toward the halo of somewhere unknown.

If you like outdoor camping, why not join the aurora-chasing group to the Sammy Camping ground. Nothing is more exciting than living in the woods far away from the city, setting up bonfires and sharing the experience with tourists from all over the world.
