Tromsø is a city in the county of Troms, Norway.
Tromsø is in the middle of the Aurora Borealis (northern lights) zone, and is in fact one of the best places in the world to observe this phenomenon. Because of the planet's rotation, Tromsø moves into the aurora zone around 6pm, and moves out again around midnight.
Because of diametrically different light conditions in winter, Norwegians often divide this period into two seasons: Mørketida (the dark time) and Seinvinter (late winter).
The return of the sun is an occasion for celebration. Due to the twilight, there is some daylight for a couple of hours even around mid winter, often with beautiful bluish light.
