Their remote locations and protected status mean pitch-black night skies perfect for Aurora viewing.
Isolated Areas
Seek out secluded places far from city lights, traffic and ambient light. Some suggestions include logging roads, beaches, fields or mountain viewpoints. Try spots at higher elevations for unobstructed views of the horizon. The further you can get from urban centers, the better.
