Oh yay! I am happy to hear that this itinerary was helpful. It will be pretty dark in December as the Lofoten Islands are very close to the arctic circle. The snow/ice could potentially be harsh, but it is hard to say if I recommend it or not, because it really depends on how comfortable you driving in winter conditions, and maybe dealing with disruptions & road closures. Personally, I think a little bit later in the winter like February or March might be nicer & more scenic, but December will certainly leave lots of opportunity to hunt for aurora.

Yeah, I was there in March. We had one snowy day, but otherwise no major issues with snow. However, I grew up in a snowy climate and I am not intimidated by driving in snow. But May/June, most of the snow on the roads should be gone, so I think you will be fine.

Regards, jenny
