You need to pack well. The northern lights are breathtaking, but the harsh weather is not for everyone.
RenskeThe days were short, cold and sometimes it snowed. The northern lights were definitely a plus. However, unpredictable weather conditions can be a problem.
Quinty BackxDespite a few days of rain, there was plenty of sunshine and a clear blue sky, which made for beautiful photos. Don't expect summer temperatures, but the fresh air and spectacular scenery more than made up for it.
MarijnSunny days gave way to cool winds and rain. Lovely weather for reading a vacation book indoors, but less suitable for enjoying Norway's rugged nature.
Noah van der AarDespite the rainy days, the midnight sun made up for everything. Don't forget your sunglasses!
TijnDecember at Hammerfest was without a doubt an unforgettable experience. The extremely cold weather and almost constant darkness were difficult to get used to, but the northern lights were unreal and made up for everything.
Eline HeldoornSnowstorms often disrupted the days. Not ideal for a vacation, but the northern lights experience was unforgettable.
