Check the forecast for aurora activity before planning your trip
Head to areas with clear, dark skies away from light pollution
Be patient and give yourself enough time to wait for the lights to appear
Consider booking a guided tour with experienced Northern Lights hunters
Bring warm clothing and gear to stay comfortable during long periods outside
Use a tripod and slow shutter speed to capture stunning photos of the lights
Be flexible with your travel plans and willing to adjust based on weather and aurora activity
