Why it works for the aurora
- View
- Wide inland sky; best open views from the lake shore to the north.
- Darkness
- Dark sky, grade 1 on a scale from 0 (darkest) to 5. Little artificial light; a good place for faint aurora and the Milky Way.
- Aurora
- Near the edge of the auroral oval: aurora on most active nights, low in the northern sky on quiet ones.
Getting there
- Distance
- About 99 km by road from the middle of Helgeland (estimate), roughly 1 h 54 by car.
- Coordinates
- 65.6000, 13.9900 · Open in OpenStreetMap
Before you go
Dress for standing still in the cold, bring a head torch with a red light, and park only where parking is allowed. A forecast is guidance, not a promise: check the road and weather warnings for Norway before a night drive. See our winter safety note.
