AURORA BOREALIS | Comparing the best places to see the Northern Lights: ICELAND vs LAPLAND vs TROMSO 

Damn Jean - now I want to see the northern lights😍 That landing in Tromso was WOW. Love the difference between the Norway and Finland accommodation too😂 Only complaint? You forgot my home country Sweden!

I went to Tromsø for a few days back in November and I was fortunate enough to see the Northern Lights after driving out an hour away with a crew assembled at the hostel I was staying at. It's honestly one of the most magical pieces of nature that I've ever seen.

Finland has the least clouds of these places, and this means also less humidity and wind. Cold itself is not bad, humid wind makes it a killer. The best weather to spot auroras is bitter cold high pressure when there's no wind, not that uncommon in Lapland. You might ask why? Well, Scandinavian mountains that are in Norway and Sweden blocks the moist Atlantic weather. On spring there's even some clear days with warm but dry Föhn wind coming from west.

Finnish Lapland is a big area, though. Northern parts of it could maybe provide similar reliability to Tromsø.

Your first video is already on high level. Enjoyed every second of it, so magical and amazing! Well done Jean 👌🌌

Wow Jean!!! What a fantastic first video, your joy of each unique moment comes across so beautifully ☺️ I can’t wait to see what you get up to next!!!! Well done!

What an awesome debut for your channel . Great work and super well done. LOOOVE it ❤️❤️

One of most amazing video I have ever seen related to Northern Lights. Thanks for filming this detailed & informative video. Your photography/videography skills are just perfect. Keep making more such videos. All the best.

Absolute legend Jean! Love seeing make your own mark on this platform and this was an epic start to a new chapter in your content 😎👍🏻

Great début Jean. Enjoyed seeing all these places with you in contrasting styles. More, please.

Most epic video I've ever seen!!! Felt like I was there too. Amazing work Jean. Worth watching every second of it. Love❤️❤️

Glad to see you back! Looking forward to your travels!

JEAN YOU ARE MAKING ME BOOK FLIGHT TICKETS TO NORWAY,FINLAND AND ICELAND RIGHT NOW. JUST FOR THE NORTHERN LIGHTS. Me: *Immediately opens google and searches for flight tickets* Jean: *Showing the Northern Lights* Me: *Looks at vid again and sees Jean showing the whole sky green in Finland and searches for the Igloo Hotel Jean stayed in*

MY FAV PERSON FROM THE POINTS GUY UK IS BACK🥺🥺 Cannot wait to see more from you! Good luck mate💪🏻

So superbly shot and edited! That landing in Tromø was incredible and I liked that tiny hotel, but I think out of the three I prefer the Igloo in Lapland.

I came from Point guy reviews, but as soon as you actually scientifically explained the northern lights, I'm hooked. You got a new subscriber, looking forward to your videos my man!

Great video Jean. I caught a glimpse of the Aurora in Iceland years back but now you’ve put Lapland on my list - Wow!

Oh wow great video. I was exploring almost these exact options to see the northern lights and you already went there! Thanks a million for an absolutely fantastic and very useful video.

I must say, this is one of the most epic videos that I’ve seen in a long time! The quality of information, video production, editing is excellent! I was debating whether who is the better Points UK guy among all the host, and after seeing this, I can clearly say, that it’s you, Jean! You now have a new super fan and subscriber! Keep it up!

Love love love this Jean. It was so lovely meeting you in the Lapland. 😍❤️

Wow. Amazing video Jean. Great job! 👏👏👏👏👏 Loved to see all of your guests. Looking forward for more to come! 😘

This was a very well made video! Thank you, super helpful and beautiful views of the Northern Lights.

Absolutely loved it ! Can’t wait for the next one ! ❤️❤️❤️

oh jean this was wonderful. the music editing really delivered emotional punches--it was such an enjoyable half hour and already booking for next winter :)

YEEEEEESSSSS! You’re back! It is wonderful to have you back on the tube! Oh how we’ve all missed you!

incredible Jean!!! what an insane vid to drop on your debut! Kicking things off with a BANG!

Amazing video Jean, so great to have you back on RU-vid 🥰

A joy to watch! Creative, informing and so well crafted. We are planning a Northern Lights experience, wondering which country, and you did more to give a sense of the activities than most traveler videos. Your enthusiasm! About to watch again, a second time on the big screen with my partner!

This video was so enjoyable to watch! Not only have you done a great job editing the video, also what you have shown and the footage was so awesome!

I flew from Los Angeles (where I live) to Tromsø in February of 2020 for my birthday. The night we arrived it was very clear and perfect for Northern lights viewing. The index predicted a strong Northern Light show and so we waited and waited, eventually turning in for the night because we had spent the last 24 hours traveling and we were exhausted.. The next day we overheard people talking about the amazing northern lights show that appeared late last night. The northern lights appeared very strongly over the city and lasted for an hour. I was crushed. I missed it and the weather for my remaining time in Tromsø was snowy so I missed my chance. We did have plans to go further into the country and possibly into Finland but the snow storm destroyed those plans. Your video has given me new hope! Maybe Lapland for my next trip! Great video!

Absolutamente incrível o vídeo!!! Parabéns, Jean!! Agora, do nada, ver a aurora boreal virou uma prioridade de viagem.

Awesome video Jean😍 We were also recently in Iceland! Glad to see you doing videos again, you are one of our biggest inspiration in videomaking back when you were at TPG UK😍

Fab video!! Thankyou!! Looking forward to your next adventure.

3 things What I like about this video is 1) Science fact 2))Jean Arnas visual. I can't stress that enough his visual is one of the best in the world today 3)Places that should have exist only exist in fictions.

Great video Jean!! I like how you paired each country together with travelling, hotels, things to do and the northern lights rather than going through everything for each country one by one. My wife and I visited Kakslauttanen twice, once back in Oct 2017 (didn't see the aurora) then again in March 2018 and saw them all 3 nights we were there. We stayed in the Kelo-Glass Igloo on both occasions as well. I love that place; half-board included with amazing food and the staff was super friendly. Glad you liked visiting there! We are heading to Tromso and Lyngen North March 2023, hoping to see another spectacular Northern Lights show! Thanks for the great video!

Definitely one of the best travel videos I've ever seen

Great video! Aaaah I'd want to visit these 3 places now. Added all of them in the list!

I have watched your video for the first time. OMG !! magnificent and what a video Man!! 3 destination covered extremely well the best part is seeing northern light at the time of landing,amazing 🤩

MY FAVOURITE HAS FINALLY UPLOADED 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️

Loved that one Jean! Cool that you are doing your own thing now, your positive attitude is amazing! Cheers from Germany!

The f*****g travel video boss is finaly here. Amazing vid!

Fantastic video - so cinematic and makes me soooo jealous you saw the lights burning so bright. I want to go on the huskie ride 🦮

Beautiful video, Jean. Am a big fan since your previous gig. Hoping to see more of your work in your channel.

AMAZING VIDEO! LOVE YOU JEAN! ❤️

Besides the beautiful places and sights you went to and seen, I love the fact that you were travelling with your parents and they're also having a wonderful time with you! This makes me really want to go to these places especially the Blue Lagoon!

Parabéns Jean, você é incrível! Amei viajar com você no vídeo. Com certeza será nosso próximo destino!

Iceland for me, it looks soooo good! Was glued to the screen, amazing Jean ❤️❄️👏🏻

MONSTER!! Incredible vídeo JEAN!!

Beautifully explained and short crisp video! Loved it man! ✨💜🤘

Amazing and enchanting! Thank you so much for sharing this great video.

Amazing video Jean 🤩 really excited to see more of your content!!!

LIKE WATCHING A TV SHOW!! incredible Jean!!!

Great video Jean.. I've just returned from Iceland last week it was my 2nd time there without seeing the aura but still had a amazing time but now its time to visit tromso after watching your excellent video. Many thanks

Amazing video, many thanks for this, northern lights is definitely on my bucket list for this year

Absolutely excellent video in everyway, love it.

Amazing vid darl can’t wait to see what’s next 🎥

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing! Lapland looks awesome! We’ll Iceland and Norway is also awesome!

Amazing work Jean! 👏I really enjoyed watching it and learning about all these surreal places. Keep going 😉

This was very cool. I went to Iceland last summer and loved seeing places that I got to see in person. I would love to see the Northern Lights and your video was very informative and interesting. I look forward to your future videos!

This video is sooo good!! We need more of this! Saludos!

Jean I missed you! Also! I’ve always wanted to see the Aurora Borealis so I’m glad this was made!

Awesome video. 👌 really want to go to all these places. Nice job for a fist video on your channel. Can't wait to see what's next.

We’ve never even seen the Northern lights and here you are comparing 3 different places to see them!! Keeping notes for when we finally get to planning our trip there.

Thank you for a comprehensive video survey. It really help me to decide Which/Where to view the northern light with my family. It is one of Top items in our bucket list. Since the trip will cost a lot of $$$ and we can not go to all 3 countries, your video really help! Look forward to see more of these types of comparison videos. Thank You again❤😊

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I can’t thank you enough for posting this. Have been researching on the best place to see the NL. Have gone to Lapland to try to see them. We even stayed for a week. But did not see them at all. So I was debating on which trip to take. And now I got the answer I need! So…on to saving money for a trip to Tromso! This video was very well made, and for that, I thank you again! New subscriber here ❤️❤️❤️!

This video was fantastically done! Loved it ... and the lights!!

Wow. This is one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen on you tube. I loved the structure, the way you speak and what you say makes the video attractive and pleasant to watch. You tips has value and your smile is adorable 🥰. I subscribed 😊

Loving the content Jean!

Great video! Very informative and well filmed.

Absolutely stunning you are so lucky to have seen it in all three places. I've been to Iceland and Finland and still had no luck. Going to Tromso in October fingers crossed. Thanks for the lovely video

oh thank you so much for this video and I am so glad and happy to found you. I always wanted to see the northern lights but i dont know where to go but your vedio helps me a lot.. thanks again and more power...

Tromso has an incredible nightlife with loads of cafes restaurants and pubs, don't know why you are giving the impression that it hasn't. You can also do Husky sledging there. The problem with Iceland on top of the reasons you said is that if it is cloudy there aren't many places to go to find better weather as your on an island.But in Norway and Finland you got bigger areas to maneuver to find clearer weather.

Wow! AMAZING VIDEO, VARY GOOD JEAN !

Jean!!! Nice to see you. Cheers!

I went to Iceland for 2 full nights only, and the lights appeared on my second night! Absolutely breathtaking, and I want to see them again hopefully in Norway. Everyone should see them at least once in their lives 💚

I missed u Jean nice to see u

Wow this is a really high quality video ! If it is your really first video your are a true boss !

Fantastic! Thank you!!

Coisa linda!!!! Amei tudo!! This is definitely in my bucket list!!

This is such a perfect video with all the important information! I’m definitely excited to see the northern lights too and would choose to try it out in Iceland first

absolutely stunning!

I love it! Go on with your videos!

Great video Jean 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

beautifully shot! this video helps a lot for ppl like me who's torn between these 3 locations for my first aurora borealis hunt.

Amazing! I've always had the same question myself - where best to see northern lights - and to have that answered (for free) is absolutely wonderful. Now I know where my next destination should be!

Amazing insights... Very nice work... Keep it up 👍😊

Incredibile, fantastico video Bravissimooooo Jean

Loved it! You're so natural on camera. Next time come see the lights from Canada! Polar bear plunge here too ☺️

That's fun! I'm very glad that you liked Iceland. I love your content!

Thank you for the very informative comparison !!

So happy i came across this video!

Excellent Jean!

I love this kind of vlog. Someday, I can watch northern lights with my own eyes😍❤️

9:30 woah that water looks so smooth and magical

I am in Iceland right now and I saw them 2 days ago with a beer in a hot tub outside, UNBELIEVABLE !

Looks amazing!

Fantastic video. Thank you. I was wondering which I should choose. Lapland for me.

Incredible video! Thank you! 😍😄
