Make your northern lights bucket list dreams come true.

You’ve seen the stunning photographs and the breathtaking videos, and now it’s time to experience the magic of the northern lights for yourself. But where on earth can you see them? When’s the best time to travel to see the lights in action? And what even are the aurora borealis anyway?

If “seeing the northern lights” has always been on your bucket list but you don't know where to start, then Chasing the Northern Lights is the book for you. Inside you’ll discover:

  • the top places to see the lights, including Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Greenland, Scotland, Canada and the US
  • the best times to travel for the lights and how to forecast the aurora, without needing a scientific background
  • tips and tricks on aurora chasing, from choosing the right tour to how to photograph the lights
  • a digestible breakdown of the aurora borealis: the science, the myths and everything in between

With Chasing the Northern Lights, you’re one step closer to ticking the northern lights off your bucket list.
