Kangerlussuaq Greenland: One of the best places in Greenland to see the Northern Lights, Kangerlussuaq benefits from unusually stable weather and clear skies due to its location in a dry fjord valley. Though small, this former U.S. airbase serves as a major hub for Arctic research and eco-tourism. The long runway facilitates access to remote regions, while the surrounding tundra and ice sheet provide vast, dark expanses perfect for aurora viewing. Guided tours lead to the edge of the Greenland Ice Sheet, where the lights reflect off ancient snow. Local Inuit guides share stories and survival skills. With minimal light pollution, high elevation, and extended polar night conditions, Kangerlussuaq offers intense, prolonged auroral displays. Its raw, isolated beauty and scientific significance make it a destination for intrepid travelers seeking the aurora in one of the planet’s most pristine and powerful environments.
