2025 is predicted to be one of the most active seasons for the Northern Lights in years! This is a rare chance to see the Northern Lights at their best, with intense and colorful displays lighting up the sky. This is thanks to the sun reaching its solar maximum, the peak of its 11-year cycle, which amplifies solar activity and brings about more frequent, vibrant auroras. Perfect timing for an unforgettable aurora adventure!
