Our camera covers a large portion of the northern sky, and we are at such a northern latitude, that when the sky is clear, there is usually a big chance to see the northern lights live just from the comfort of your home. There is a clock on the stream that shows the local time here in Utsjoki. Our days and night time change drastically throughout the year. In September-October, it will start getting dark only after 8-10 PM, and same goes for March and April. In the November-February period, we can sometimes see the northern lights as early at 4 or 5 PM!
Make sure to choose the 1080p quality option from Youtube if your connection allows it. This will give your aurora live stream a much nicer look. If you want to be alerted when the northern lights appear on our cam, you can register to our Facebook group. If you turn on the notifications, you will be informed as soon as someone sees the aurora.
Sometimes, the image will be very bright or white, this happens during the day when the camera is still in the night settings. We will switch at some point to day settings so that you can enjoy with us our beautiful view of the Teno River.
