Aurora Sky Station, Northern lights observation station on Mount Nuolja in Kiruna, Sweden
The Aurora Sky Station stands at 900 meters above sea level, offering an observation platform for viewing the northern lights against dark winter skies.
The facility began northern lights experiences in the 1960s, with the first organized aurora viewing program established at the station in 2000.
The station incorporates Swedish Lapland traditions through its four-course dinner menu, reflecting regional culinary practices in the Arctic environment.
Visitors reach the station via a 30-minute chairlift ride from the base, with winter equipment provided for protection against low temperatures.
The location benefits from the 'blue hole of Abisko' weather phenomenon, creating clear skies for optimal aurora viewing even when surrounding areas have cloud cover.
