Choosing the Wrong Location Avoid staying in cities with light pollution. Head to remote, dark areas far from artificial lights for the best view.
Ignoring Weather Conditions Cloud cover can block the aurora. Always check weather forecasts for clear skies before heading out.
Not Checking the Aurora Forecast The Northern Lights are dependent on solar activity. Use apps or websites to track solar storms and aurora predictions.
Underestimating the Cold Temperatures can drop drastically. Dress in layers, including thermal clothing, to stay warm during long waits outside.
Not Planning Enough Time The aurora is unpredictable, so plan to stay several days in the region to increase your chances of seeing it.
Going Out Without Proper Equipment Bring a tripod and camera with manual settings to capture the lights effectively.
Staying Only One Night The Northern Lights can be elusive, so plan at least a few nights in a prime location for a better chance.
