The Northern Lights are visible at night in Arctic Circle Norway, especially when the weather is cold and dry, between late September-early October and late February-mid March. 5. Arctic Norway is the most populated arctic region in the world - As many as 400,000-500,000 people are living above the Arctic boundary — which makes sense when you look at what percentage of Norway is above the Arctic Circle. It’s not just about the country’s shape though: it’s also about the climate. Thanks to the Gulf Stream along the Norwegian coast, the climate here is actually milder than other regions of the Arctic Circle. This is why, for thousands of years, people have populated these coasts and islands in Arctic Norway: milder winters means that the waters are not freezing entirely and so fishing can be easily done all year long. Nowadays, some of Norway’s prettiest cities, like Tromsø, can be found above the Arctic circle. 6. You’ll know when you cross the Arctic Circle The actual boundary of the Arctic Circle might be changing slightly over the years, as we’ve seen, but there are still landmarks to let you know when you’re entering Arctic Norway. There is the Arctic Circle Monument (a steel globe) at Saltfjellet, in Rana municipality, just north of Mo i Rana, where you can also find an Arctic Circle Centre with exhibitions and memorabilia from the region. If you want to cross the Arctic Circle by sea, look past the Vikingen island in Rødøy, where another similar globe juts out from the promontory almost like a lighthouse.
