The northern lights are one of the major tourist draws of the Arctic and sub-Arctic winter. This book covers information on everything from how to photograph the aurora, to what to wear, to how the forecast works. It offers advice on the best European countries in which to see them - and why - and provides information on tour operators offering northern lights packages. Bradt's Northern Lights is the only guidebook on the market that caters to the large number of people whose dream is to see the aurora borealis. Polly Evans is the author of Bradt's Yukon and has also published five travel narratives. In 2006 she won the Bradt/Independent on Sunday travel-writing competition.
