🇸🇪Encounter with the Aurora Borealis in ABISKO National Park, Sweden

#100 Ways to Travel Absiko National Park in Sweden has beautiful mountains and snowy scenery. It is also a perfect place to see the aurora with a probability of more than 80%, and you can see it once every three days on average. Transportation: Train: Departs from Stockholm at 6pm, total 16 hours. Plane: Take the train from Stockholm to Kiruna, the commute time is about 4 hours. There is only one supermarket in Abisko and few restaurants, so it is recommended to practice your cooking skills or buy frozen food and microwave it. There are a total of 6 routes in the national park, and the length of each section is different, ranging from a few hours to several days. This time we took the Orange Route, which is also the most famous one. The average time is about three hours. The sunshine on the road, glaciers, snow scenes, ice lakes, and each section of the scenery is breathtaking, but the daytime is shorter in winter. When I went there in November, there was sunshine from 10 am to 4 pm. If you want to hike, you must grasp the time. (Pay attention to keeping your feet warm. I wore wool socks and hiking boots this time. As long as you don't move, the cold will still come up from the soles of your feet.) For the aurora, there are paid tour guides who will take you to the best view point to see the aurora, but this time I chose to find a spot by the lake in Abisko to take pictures. (It was minus 16 degrees, so you still need to wrap yourself as tightly as possible to keep warm, and also pay attention to whether the camera equipment will freeze due to the cold) I was lucky enough to take photos of the aurora for two consecutive days, but on the first day, when it was the strongest, I was too excited and didn’t set up a tripod, so the picture was a little shaky. On the second day, I set up a tripod, but the aurora was not as strong as the first day, but it was worth it to see the aurora. If you want to chase the aurora for the first time and want convenience, then Abisko is very suitable for those who want to chase the aurora, with beautiful natural environment and slow pace of life #Sweden #Aurora #Northern Europe #Nordic Attractions #Nordic Travel #Snow #Glacier #Snowfield #Train #Airplane #Europe #Nordic Travel #Arctic Tour
