- ★Clear nights are most common in late autumn through early spring; peak aurora activity typically occurs between 21:00–02:00, so expect potentially late evenings
- ★Dress in extreme cold-weather layers (temperatures often drop below −20°C); your guide will advise on optimal positioning and waiting strategies to stay comfortable during viewing
