This is a “must do” activity for all Northern Lights enthusiasts. Get a broad understanding of what causes Northern Lights and learn more about the Aurora myths.

Try making your own Northern Lights in the plasma chamber, and enjoy the magnificent film “Northern Lights – a magical experience”. An 80-page book about Arctic lights is our gift to you. This experience must be booked at least 24 hours in advance.
