Northern Lights - Aurora Borealis:

The Northern Lights - nature's own light show - are solar winds that meet the atmosphere in a zone around the magnetic North Pole, forming arches, waves and curls of light moving across the sky, with sudden rays of light shooting down from space.
The Northern Lights are visible between November and March when the sky is clear, depending on the Northern Lights activity.

The best place to see the Northern Lights is in the Northern parts of Norway, and the area around the Arctic city of Tromso offers a maximum of Northern Lights activity. Read more about the Northern Lights. Northern Lights tours 2012

The Midnight Sun in Norway

is a phenomenon occurring in latitudes north to the Arctic Circle and south and nearby to the north of the Antarctic Circle where the sun remains visible at the local midnight. Given fair weather, the sun is visible for a continuous 24 hours. The number of days per year with potential midnight sun increases the further north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle one goes.
The Arctic Circle in North Norway is located close to the Arctic town of Bodo and south of the Lofoten Islands.
South of the Arctic Circle in Norway the nights are bright ("white") as well during spring/early summer due to the altitude, although the sun is not visible all night.
