Norway has the highest density of Northern Lights anywhere in the world and the best time to see them is between October and March.
They were once the fodder of legends about spirits of old maids and superstitions that a mere sighting would lead to good fortune. Perhaps the former is easy to dispel, but anyone able to catch a glimpse of the wondrous Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) is indeed fortunate.
