About Our Aurora Live Webcams
Our network features 13 live aurora webcams across 6 countries, providing real-time northern lights feeds from the world's best viewing locations. Watch aurora borealis live from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Alaska, and Canada through cameras operated by research institutions, universities, and professional tour operators.
Why Use Aurora Webcams?
Aurora webcams help you confirm current conditions before heading outside. While aurora probability maps show forecasted activity, webcams show actual real-time visibility. Experienced aurora hunters check multiple cameras simultaneously to compare conditions across different regions and identify areas with clear skies.

We feature webcams from Abisko (Sweden), Tromsø and Skibotn (Norway), South Iceland, Fairbanks and Poker Flat (Alaska), Yellowknife and Churchill (Canada), and Kilpisjärvi, Levi, Rovaniemi, Sodankylä, and Kalajoki (Finland). These locations sit within the auroral oval between 60-70°N latitude.
