For clients on a tight budget, HomeToGo has released a list of the cheapest ways to experience the Aurora Borealis.
The list comes as NASA reveals 2025 will be ‘an exceptional year’ for aurora viewing, thanks to heightened solar activity due to the solar maximum. Alongside that heightened solar activity is heightened demand for Aurora viewing, with HomeToGo data showing searches for Norway, Alaska, and Iceland up year-on-year by 102%, 81%, and 48%, respectively.
