The Blue Light Festival 2012
December 17th -19th
Vuollerim, by the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland.
Come… Let the stillness and breathtaking beauty of the blue light of Swedish Lapland surround you. Take part of a unique and peaceful festival that honors this pure phenomenon. The cause of the blue light rarity is the combination of the sun never rising above the horizon, as well as the sunlight creating an optical anomaly.
The light is only visible near the Arctic Circle for 6-7 weeks in December and January. This time of year makes for great experiences!
