However, finding places where the aurora borealis can be seen can be a difficult sell when you realize just how isolated and hard-to-reach they can be. There is an alternate way to see nature’s light show, however, and you might end up finding it on a regular commercial flight!

Many transcontinental flight paths around the world take you to or near the Arctic Circle while in the air, and this can provide a fascinating and unique perspective from which to see this “show”.

The so-called “Polar Route” is the most popular path that planes take when flying from North America to Asia. Normally, planes cross the North Pole region at night, which gives you a very possible shot of seeing this amazing light show.

Some flights from Europe to northern cities in North America also offer this possibility, although the chances are usually somewhat lower that you’ll see them.

Try to book a flight with a route near or in the Arctic that happens during night hours, and be sure to stay awake for what could be one of the most amazing things that you will ever see!

Have you ever seen the Northern Lights from a plane before? What did you think?

A visit to this magical place will be a voyage to remember, as the village offers many exciting attractions you can enjoy.

Firstly, a visit to Santa’s home is a must. There, you will be able to enjoy the cozy comfort of the lovely house, and you will have the opportunity to meet him in person and snap some heart-warming photos! Also, you should visit Santa’s post office and see where the letters from all around the globe arrive.

Another great attraction of the village is taking a ride with a husky sled – spice up your Instagram profile with pictures of this unique experience.

If you would like a slower and more relaxed ride, you could take a trip with a reindeer sleigh and enjoy the magnificent scenery of Lapland.

This beautiful country is already known as one of the most popular photography destinations, and the Arctic Henge offers great opportunities to snap that once-in-a-lifetime photo!

The Arctic Henge is a massive set of stone structures that are located on a hill near the village of Raufarhofn in Iceland’s far north.

The building of this impressive project began back in 2004, and while still not completely finished, the attraction is definitely breathtaking. Its unique location makes it the perfect setting for photography, especially since you can experience the famous “Midnight Sun” there. From the site, you get a full 360-degree view of the hill, and you can enjoy the sun shining through the massive stone gates.

The project was an idea of a local hotel owner, and it was designed by the famous artist Haukur Halldorsson. The original inspiration for the monument was the rich Norse mythology.   

Finally, the village of Raufarhofn is packed with great places to stay at, and since it used to be one of the largest harbors in Iceland, it is definitely an attractive place to see.
