Creator's Key Takeaways

i've learned all this over eight years of experimenting the most important thing you need is a tripod to hold the camera steady

you need mittens not gloves you want to keep your fingers close together for warmth

if you come for just two days you're out of luck

park yourself in front of your little glass window this is the best way to do it rather than paying to go to aurora hunt

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use a tripod and SLR camera for photographing the aurora
Wear mittens, thermals, waterproof layers, and spikes for warmth
Stay multiple nights to increase chances of seeing the northern lights
Watch from your glass igloo instead of paying for aurora hunts
