ロヴァニエミがフィンランド一のオーロラ地である理由
ロヴァニエミは北緯66°に位置し、まさに オーロラオーバル — the ring-shaped band where the Northern Lights are most active and most frequent. Unlike southern Finland where aurora is rare, or the far north of Norway where weather is often harsh and unpredictable, Rovaniemi combines ideal latitude with Finland's stable continental climate.
The Rovaniemi region is surrounded by vast boreal forest and has virtually zero light pollution. On clear nights, the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye. When a solar storm hits, the sky can turn an extraordinary purple-pink above you. Rovaniemi records over 年間200夜の晴れたオーロラ — ヨーロッパの他のどのアクセスしやすいオーロラ地よりも多い。
