More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A raw Arctic night opens above a frozen lake near Levi: a low crescent moon, wind that pushes the birch silhouettes, and the soft smoke of a campfire where strangers warm their hands. The guide checks the sky, pockets a thermos, and invites the group into the black silence. Here the Northern Lights don’t perform on demand — they tease and then rush across the dome like an old river finding a new route.

Dress in moisture-wicking layers
Start with a thermal base, add insulating mid-layers and a windproof outer shell to trap warmth and stay dry while stationary.
Bring a fully charged camera battery
Cold drains batteries fast; keep spares in an inner pocket and bring a tripod for long exposures.
Plan for late-night timing
Tours run during darkness and may extend based on aurora activity — rest beforehand and expect unpredictable wake times.
Mind the fire and footprints
Stick to guide instructions around the campfire and avoid disturbing shoreline vegetation; low-light movement risks slips on ice.
