There is a wood fire burning in a traditional Sami tent (teepee) close to the Aurora Lounge where warm drinks are offered free of charge.
Northern Lights: Northern Lights observations are never guaranteed, sometimes it can be repeated several times during one evening and sometimes it simply stays away. Northern Lights observations are weather dependent; it needs to be clear sky in order to spot the Northern Lights.
