I remember my own feeling of awe my first time I saw the lights in Abisko, at the foothills of Mount Nuolja, 900m above sea level. Perched close to the summit is the remote Aurora Sky Station, a 20-minute chairlift ride up from its base. There's no better location to see the blue hole spread over the sparkling lights of Abisko and frozen Lake Torneträsk in the valley below.
