How late (and early) in the year can you see the Northern Lights from the Faroe Islands?

In the summer in the far north, the Northern Lights become hard to see because the sun is up all of the time.

If I am traveling to the Faroe Islands, at what point in the year does it become light enough that you can't see the Northern Lights? March? When does it become dark enough that you can see them again?

Best Answer

The Northern Lights can be seen from anywhere in the far northern hemisphere. Only last week, displays were visible in Scotland and northern England. Although present year-round, they can only really be seen when the sky is dark at night – from mid-September to early April.
