Cheaper option is go Mohe, China

Wah... that's like incredibly far south leh... actually if Russia is open and safe, that might be a far cheaper option to view the Northern Lights within the Arctic Circle...

there was a report that it appear in australia 2 month ago, so northern light not only in north part of the earth 

That  is southern light? But seems only can be captured through cameras and not naked eyes. My wife was sad that she was not able to capture decent aurora photos in Tasmania and Melbourne as shared by a few of her good friends who visited the same place earlier due to clouds and bad weather. I share some photos shared by an airbnb host, look under balcony section. Effect wont lose to those captured in Finland, but should be visible only through lens.

Dun see too often hor… the poles are the weakest for radiation inbound and they attract the cosmic radiation hitting the earth and that’s why you get the auroras… skali come back to sg you glow in dark😂😂

 

anyway once in a lifetime shd be ok la.. doesn’t add much to the stochastic effects of radiation.

 

anyway I jest… the science is correct on the radiation entry but effects limited due to range..u wun die fr it. Chances of getting killed by pma is higher😂

Is that what makes the Scandinavians so tall...too much sexposure to radiation...if so soon we'll see many tour groups for napoleon likes...😁

Besides Aurora viewing, another 'must' try at Finland is to do Finnish Sauna and afterwards dips and swim into the ice frozen lake. The experiences of hot and extreme cold were unforgettable. I remember when i am holding the poles to get out of the lake the water on my hands just freezes and my hands is just like stuck on the metal pole.

Artic during winter the daytime is very short. The sun angle is very low. You could be having your breakfast at ~10am, Driving out and by ~1pm+ noon already sunset. 😅

People staying in artic said that you could have a cup of morning coffee and by the time you finished it is sunset liao 😜
