Autumn in Finland, Sweden and Iceland can offer some of the most beautiful and photogenic Auroras anywhere in Europe.
(TRAVPR.COM) UK - July 21st, 2014 - Temperatures are considerably warmer in autumn, meaning that nocturnal waits for the Aurora are less cold – a bonus for any Northern Lights enthusiast. The reflection of the Northern Lights on the surface of the lakes, yet to freeze for winter, is a sight to behold.
Here are some exciting ideas from The Aurora Zone:
PHOTOGRAPHY WITH A LOCAL EXPERT, JERIS, FINLAND
