"On the Tromsø–Alta E6 road, on the left shortly after passing Skibotn. A panoramic fjord view, little traffic, a wide horizon."

"The second stop on the Lyngenfjord stretch — just pull off the main road into a small lay-by. The curtain drifts slowly from west to east."

"A quiet island in the Flakstad area along the E10 road on Moskenesøya. It offers a dark sky and a wide field of view."

"Reine, the jewel of Lofoten — the most popular town among the Moskenes archipelago. The frames shot from the bridge are among my favourites."

"A 44-metre wooden platform reaching out over the fjord, on Norway's national scenic route. Dark, and most of the time empty."

"On Senja you can find plenty of dark, deserted spots. The Straumsnes jetty is one of them — water, silence and horizon."

"A small village on the Fv815 road, on the southern shore of the Lofoten archipelago. The frames shot beneath the church's silhouette are among the book's most iconic moments."

"Along the Fv816 connecting road that runs from the E10 highway into the town of Henningsvær, there are ideal lay-bys for setting up a tripod."

"Unstad beach is a year-round haunt for adventurous surfers. It faces the open sea — a wide horizon means a wide aurora."

"About half an hour from Harstad. On the northern headland, you drive to the very end of the Fv2 road. Little traffic, lights reflecting off the sea."

"An alternative return route after spending time at Elgsnes cove. This spot works better when the auroral oval pulls to the west."

"The interior of Alta, at 70 degrees north. From the Rafsbotnveien main road you turn onto the Fv28. Dark and wide — the emptiest sky in the north."

"Along the E10 from Reine to Ramberg, just past the Sund junction, there are plenty of fjord-view pull-offs on the left."

"The lakes and footpaths in the interior of Sørvågen give you plenty of alternative vantage points."

"By Storvatnet — mostly frozen over in winter — you can catch photogenic moments down in the valley."

"From Røren hill, a bird's-eye view over a wide area lets you watch the northern lights from many angles."

"Skagsanden beach, on the Flakstad E10 road, is a dark spot with easy parking. Its exposed position can bring strong winds."

"On the Lilleeid headland at Gravdal you can watch the northern lights with a panoramic view."
