What is Live Aurora Cams?
Live Aurora Cams is a free, real-time tool designed for aurora chasers, photographers, and enthusiasts. Our interactive map lets you view northern lights webcams from around the world, alongside up-to-date spaceweather conditions — all in one place.
Why We Built It
Chasing the aurora is part science, part instinct. Our mission is to make it easier for chasers to quickly check real-time spaceweather metrics — like Bz, Kp, and hemispheric power — and instantly see the results on live camera feeds. No guesswork. Just fast, actionable information.
Helping You Make Better Calls
By showing live cam reactions to changing aurora conditions, we aim to help chasers understand when the aurora is likely peaking — and when it’s not. Our hope is that this tool helps reduce missed opportunities and improves decision-making for everyone from casual observers to dedicated chasers.
Built by Chasers, for Chasers
This site is built and maintained by passionate aurora chasers and photographers who know the struggle of making the right call. We want you to have access to simple, fast tools we wish we had years ago — so you can maximize your chasing success rate and enjoy more aurora-filled nights.
We Support Providers
With all types of different setups for different scenarios, keeping webcams up and running can be tedious and expensive for operators depending on location and they deserve support. We support providers by not embedding live streams and instead providing a link to their live stream on their chosen platform. We are continuously exploring new ways to help camera operators keep their webcams funded.
