Become a scientist during your holiday to Vadsø, and experience the Northern Lights in a scientific and practical manner, during a fun and interactive workshop spread out on multiple days. Discover what is the science behind the phenomenon through simple experiments (suitable even for the non-scientists!). And, if you want, after the workshop, try to earn your own Northern Lights certification!

Have you ever asked yourself what is all that scientific mumbo-jumbo about the Northern Lights all about? Would you like that notions like “IMF Bz component”, “planetary index”, “Kp”, or “Auroral Oval” start having a meaning for you? Then you need to take part in this tworkshop dedicated entirely to the Northern Lights!

During this workshop you will learn numerous scientific details about the Aurora Borealis: what causes it, how does it appear in the sky, why is it green or red, what parameters you need to take into account if you would like to chase it and many other interesting things! With simple and interactive experiments.

All the scientific details are explained starting with the beginner level. So don’t worry: there’s no need for you to be a scientist and to know any magnetism or atmospheric physics in order to take part!
