Explore Northern Lights

The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are a breathtaking natural phenomenon occurring near Earth’s polar regions. They result from charged particles from the Sun colliding with atmospheric gases, producing vibrant colors like green, pink, and purple in the night sky. Visible primarily in countries like Norway, Iceland, and Canada, these lights often dance and shimmer, creating an ethereal display. Best seen during winter months, the Northern Lights have inspired myths and legends, symbolizing wonder and the beauty of Earth’s natural phenomena.
