Everyone is full of countless wonderful moments, but some moments are so unique, as if they can light up memories of their lives. Watching the aurora is such a fascinating and unforgettable experience. ✅ Why is watching the aurora becoming a must-do thing in life? ❣️ The aurora symbolizes the ultimate display of natural beauty and is a magical gift given to us by nature. ❣️ Watching the aurora is an experience of escape from daily life, pursuing inner peace and shock. ❣️ The emergence of aurora is a combination of astronomical and geographical phenomena and is unpredictable, so it takes a little luck and a lot of preparation to see it. How to improve the success rate of viewing aurora? 🔺 Choose the right time and place: Although the aurora may occur throughout the year, the opportunity to be in high latitudes such as Norway, Iceland, Finland and other places is greater between autumn and spring. 🔺 Focus on weather forecasts and aurora forecasts: The bright night sky and the intensity of solar activity will affect the possibility of viewing auroras. 🔺 Stay away from urban light pollution: Find a remote and dark area in the sky to avoid the impact of urban light pollution on the observation effect. ✅ What equipment do you need to prepare for viewing the aurora?🔥 Wear warm clothes: Aurora observation is usually carried out on cold nights, and suitable cold protection equipment is crucial. 🔥 Bring the necessary photography equipment: If you want to capture this momentary beauty, a camera and tripod that can manually set exposure is essential. 🔥 Prepare snacks and hot drinks: Wait for the aurora to appear on a cold night, and some hot drinks and energy foods can help you maintain your body temperature and strength. ✅ Aurora Photography Skills Sharing 🤗 Using long exposures to capture the details of the aurora, usually requires the camera's ISO setting to be higher, the aperture is larger, and the exposure for a long time. 🤗 Try different angles and compositions, using ground objects as a foreground, contrasting with the gorgeous sky, creating more interesting pictures. 🤗 Don't be afraid of experiments, every time the aurora appears, it is unique, try different photography techniques to capture this unique. 1️⃣ Dog sledding: This is a classic polar adventure, usually conducted by a trained Alaska Husky team. These dogs are strong and hardy and are ideal for dragging sledding in a terrain covered with thick snow. Visitors can experience the fun of driving a sled under the guidance of a professional. Indeed, this activity usually requires enough snow to carry out. 2️⃣ Visit the doghouse: In this type of tourist site, there are special kennels for breeding and training Alaska Huskies involved in activities such as sledding. Visitors can visit the kennel to learn about the habits of these dogs and how they are trained to pull sleds. Visitors also have the opportunity to get close to and interact with these friendly dogs.3️⃣ Visit hail: In some cold areas, people build hail from natural low temperatures. These hails are used not only to store food and make ice cubes, but also as tourist attractions. Visitors can enjoy various ice sculptures in the hail and experience drinks made by bartenders in the cold environment. In some places, visitors can even make or smash ice wine glasses by themselves to add fun to the tour.4️⃣ Arctic Circle Half Day Tour: The Arctic Circle is an imaginary geographical boundary on Earth, marking the area north of 66 degrees 33 minutes north of latitude. Some cities or attractions near the Arctic Circle offer half-day or day trips that allow visitors to explore the natural beauty and cultural features of this special area. This may include viewing the magnificent auroras (if the time is right), visiting science and education exhibitions, and experiencing local culture. #May 1st Travel Any Door #Play Outdoors #City Humanities Handbook #Monthly Special Plan #Where to Play 2024
