Nov 16, 2025: Aurora Borealis over the Arctic Ocean in 4K UltraHD

Tonight is shaping up to be another promising night for aurora activity over Ilulissat. The geomagnetic forecast for high latitudes calls for Kp levels around 4 to 5, which means the auroral oval remains energized and active enough to produce frequent displays across the Arctic sky.

In the past several days, the Sun has been more active than usual. Fast solar wind streams and recent disturbances from active sunspot regions have supplied extra charged particles to Earth’s magnetic field. This lingering energy increases the likelihood of brighter pulses, shifting arcs, and sudden bursts of activity as the night unfolds.

You can experience this exact view in person by staying at this beautiful ocean front home in Ilulissat, Greenland. This home is located in one of the absolute best locations in Ilulissat, where you can hear the sea just outside as well as the smell of the ice from Ilulissat Isfjord.

Aurora outlook:
• Expected intensity: Active conditions with the possibility of stronger substorm moments
• Best viewing window: Around midnight through the pre-dawn hours
• What to watch for: Green arcs drifting across the sky, slow curtains of light, vertical rays that brighten suddenly, and occasional deeper tones if activity surges
• Why this could be good: Even without a full storm, Ilulissat sits directly beneath the auroral oval — meaning moderate levels elsewhere can translate into vivid, frequent auroras here

Weather & setting:
Cold Arctic air and dark November skies provide excellent contrast for the northern lights. Even brief openings in the clouds can reveal dramatic movement. With the iceberg-cam overlooking the Ilulissat Icefjord, tonight’s auroras have one of the most iconic backgrounds anywhere on Earth.

Join us live as the northern lights dance over Greenland’s frozen coastline — a breathtaking Arctic performance you won’t want to miss.
