I’m going to Norway with my husband in March 2013 on a Hurtigruten boat trip so this gives us 5-6 days to see the lights. I’ve picked a month when we are (statistically) most likely to see them, and a time with a new moon (darker skies). Its the solar maximum too so if there was ever a chance to see the lights this is it! I can’t control anything else about our attempt to see the lights, so fingers crossed!!
