Experiences
The Indoor Aurora Show
The Indoor Aurora Show (formerly Aurora 100) is a complete indoor Aurora experience with useful facts and loads of photos and videos of the very best Northern Lights. It includes a slideshow, a lecture, true stories about photos and an opportunity to ask your questions.
DETAILED INFORMATION:
In western Finland the Northern Lights are not visible more than a few times per month during the Aurora season, which is from September to April. The Indoor Aurora Show, however, makes that possibility no less than 100%.
​​
The Aurora show can be seen in Nordland Aurora's studio but it is also mobile. I can give it in English or Swedish. The experience is a mix of photos videos, music, storytelling and aurora information. After one hour you will know a lot a bout the Northern Lights and you will have seen some fantastic Auroras. It's an experience as close to the real thing as you can get if you cannot see the Aurora in the night sky.​
​​

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE AURORA 100 SHOW
​
“Your Aurora show was better than the fireworks.” – A woman at an Aurora 100 show in Canada in July 2018
​
“I needed something exclusive for an event that I hosted. Ove was the perfect fit and he was sensitive to the audience and gave them an interactive show where everybody was involved.” – Event host in a big organisation in Jakobstad, Finland 2020
​
“Now I really understand what the Northern Lights are. I tried to find out from the Internet but didn't understand much until I saw your show.” – A teacher from France visiting Finland with her students in May 2018
​
“I imagine it to be magical, like a fairy tale.”
– A student from France on the question “How would you expect it to feel like to see the Northern Lights in the sky?” The Northern Lights didn't appear during her week in Finland in January 2018 but she got to see them through the Aurora 100 show.

”Vi rekommenderar varmt Aurora 100 till andra läroanstalter. Ove hade ett fint pedagogiskt grepp, han var disponerad och en bra berättare. Showen var omväxlande och den tangerade flera läroämnen. Det är intressant att höra en engagerad berättare, bilderna är mycket vackra och innehållet kan inspirera till fortsatt forskning inom olika läroämnen i skolan. Våra studerande tyckte om den och deltog aktivt med frågor.” – Viola Storbacka, Kronoby gymnasium
