For most people, witnessing these brilliant light curtains spread across the sky is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. One of the best spots to watch the northern lights is in Finland. The most fantastic place to observe the lights is near or north of the Arctic Circle, though occasionally, they can be seen even in the nation’s southernmost regions. If the sky is clear, visitors are nearly guaranteed to see a spectacular from September through March. In the north, many hotels cater exclusively to visitors who wish to see the lights. Additionally, you can sign up for free email alerts about the Northern Lights through the Finnish Meteorological Institute.
ÅLAND ARCHIPELAGO
An independent archipelago between Sweden and Finland is the Land Islands (or Land). The land is a region of Finland that speaks mostly Swedish and comprises nearly 10,000 tiny islands in addition to a few larger ones. The land has a distinctive past. Sweden gave it up to Russia in 1809. The fortification was destroyed in 1854 when a combined British-French fleet captured the islands.
Since shipping and trade have traditionally been the islands’ primary industries, visiting the Maritime Museum, the Museum Ship Pommern, and the Maritime Quarter in Mariehamn is recommended to appreciate the islands’ fascinating maritime past.
