Re: Northern Lights

Remember it isn't necessarily the time of the year but the amount of solar
activity so it is a bit pot luck but it helps to be where they will happen

have a look at http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/Aurora/

you can see it in England if all is well , I went to the Arctic Circle
Finland last March and didn't see it :0(

cheers

A friend of mine is planning a cruise around the Norway Russian border and
has asked when would be the best time to go in order to have the best
chance of seeing the Northern Lights. Bearing in mind that the cruise would
have to be booked some months in advance. Does anyone have any idea of a
website that would show this type of information. ?

Thanks,

Jim
