Take your pick from Norwegian destinations such as Tromsø, Svalbard, Kirkenes, the Lofoten Islands and Nordkapp (North Cape).Īlternatively, go in search of the aurora borealis in Iceland. Or visit Northern Norway for your aurora borealis tour. You could head to Rovaniemi and Kemi in Finnish Lapland, or Abisko National Park near Kiruna in Swedish Lapland. Lapland – an area covering northern Sweden and Finland – is a fantastic destination for aurora chasing. Although these countries aren’t technically part of Scandinavia, they have many similarities and also happen to be great places to catch the aurora borealis! You can witness the northern lights in the neighbouring Nordic nations of Finland and Iceland too. It is unlikely you’ll see the aurora in Denmark. If you want to go to Scandinavia to hunt for the aurora borealis, your best bet is to visit the northern parts of this region – Swedish Lapland and Northern Norway. Norway, Sweden and Denmark are the countries that make up Scandinavia.

The well will be used for injection and storage of CO 2.Picture yourself in a stunning winter landscape in the northern hemisphere. In March 2020 the Eos confirmation well was drilled.Storage is located 2,500 metres below the seabed, south of the Troll field.Exploitation licence EL001 'Aurora' was awarded in January 2019.The plant will be operated from Equinor’s facilities at the Sture terminal in Øygarden and the subsea facilities from Oseberg A platform in the North Sea.The CO 2 receiving terminal will be located at the premises of Energiparken industrial area in the municipality of Øygarden in Western Norway.The facilities are scheduled to be operational in 2024. Once the CO 2 is captured onshore, it will be transported by ship to the receiving terminal in Øygarden, pumped via pipeline to a subsea structure at the seabed and injected into a geological formation some 2,500 metres below the seabed in the North Sea for permanent storage. Phase 1 includes capacity to transport, inject and store up to 1.5 million tonnes of CO 2 per year.The Northern Lights project comprises transportation, receipt and permanent storage of CO₂ in a reservoir in the northern North Sea. The full-scale project will include capture of CO 2 from one or two industrial capture sources. The Northern Lights project is part of the Norwegian full-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) project.
