This live stream is aimed at people hoping to see the aurora over Överkalix, a small town in the far north of Sweden.

About Överkalix and its setting
Överkalix lies in Norrbotten, the northernmost county of Sweden, close to the Finnish border and the Kalix River. The landscape is mostly forest, lakes and open farmland, with a quiet, rural character. Its location well north of the Arctic Circle makes it one of the better places in Sweden to see the northern lights during the dark months.
What to watch and when
The camera is named for the aurora, so the most interesting moments are usually clear, dark nights from late autumn through early spring, when the sky is darkest. Aurora activity depends on solar conditions and cloud cover, so the view may be empty for long stretches. Watching around local midnight, when the sky is fully dark, gives the best chance of seeing faint green or purple curtains.
Practical notes and nearby cameras
Winters are long and cold, with snow for much of the year, while summers are short and mild, and the midnight sun shows the sky in bright daylight rather than aurora. The best time for aurora viewing is the dark season from roughly September to March. Other cameras in the wider area include Kalix, Haparanda and Tornio, which are a short drive away.
