NorwayLights; new mobile app shows you to the best Northern Lights display 
 
This week, Visit Norway launches a brand new mobile app; NorwayLights, making it easier to predict the appearance of the Northern Lights.  The mobile app is free, and brings you up to speed on the latest predictions on the weather and upcoming Northern Lights conditions.

The launch comes as NASA predicts the 2013/2014 season to be a record year for the Northern Lights, being the best in the 11 year cycle. - 'To see the Northern Lights dance across the Arctic sky is a «once in a lifetime experience». We want enable more people to experience the northern lights in Norway this winter by making it more accessible', says Per-Arne Tuftin, Director of Tourism at Innovation Norway.

Norway - the best place in the world to see the Northern Lights
If the conditions are right, you can experience the Northern Lights all over Norway, however, the northern lights appear more frequent across the Arctic Circle in the northern parts of Norway.

-'Norway is in the centre of the northern lights zone, so the probability of seeing the lights are very likely on any cloud-free night between October and March. Though the northern lights are visible in other countries, Northern Norway's easy accessibility and optimal conditions make it one of the best places on Earth to see them', Tuftin claims, and continues, 'there is no other place in the world where chances are higher.
