ABOUT THE AURORA
Northern Lights can not be guaranteed. However, the prediction is strong, and we expect to have multiple nights during our workshop when the aurora is visible. With a long history of photographing the northern lights, we rely on scientific methods and forecasts to determine the best opportunities. Our goal is to provide the very best opportunity to photograph the northern lights.
