Many wonder whether a full moon can affect the chances of witnessing the breathtaking northern lights. Going on a tour during a full moon does not significantly interfere with your ability to see the aurora borealis. The primary factor in whether the lights will be visible is solar activity, not lunar brightness. If the solar activity is strong enough, the northern lights will remain visible even with a full moon in the sky.

In fact, a full moon can add a unique light to your aurora-watching experience. The moonlight illuminates the surrounding landscape, creating a stunning backdrop of snow-covered mountains, forests, or icy terrains.
