Amazing Aurora Borealis

Only eight nations can travel northward above the Arctic Circle, but without a doubt, Russia holds the top spot. This results in icy winters and long, uninterrupted nights that last for weeks, but it also creates the ideal environment for the Aurora Borealis, more often known as the Northern Lights, which is one of nature's most breathtaking displays. A large portion of Russia is located in high-latitude areas to the north of the Arctic Circle, providing an excellent opportunity to watch the lights from various positions.

The Kola Peninsula's Murmansk Region is the best location in Russia to look for the Northern Lights. From Moscow and St. Petersburg, it is simple to take a plane or rail to Murmansk. The Northern Lights can be seen right in Murmansk if they are strong enough. Even yet, Murmansk has a lot of artificial light pollution despite being a very bright city. Compared to the neighboring rural areas, the local temperature is frequently higher, and the city is more likely to have constant cloud cover. Besides the Murmansk region, you may also see the Aurora in Yamal, Chukotka, Karelia, Komi Republic, etc.
