Q: When is the best time to see the Aurora Borealis?

The best time to see the Aurora Borealis is between October and February. In this time, it is guaranteed dark at night when the chance of seeing the northern lights is greatest.  Seeing the Northern lights also depends on the weather. During cloudy nights the lights cannot be seen.  Furthermore, not many people know that central Greenland is located at exactly the right latitude for seeing the Aurora Borealis. The fairly long periods of darkness in September make our Greenland expeditions an ideal opportunity to admire this unbelievable phenomenon.
