Northern lights or Aurora borealis are on many travellers’ bucket list and are an extraordinary experience of unbelievable colors that move across the Arctic sky.
- Northern lights are a phenomenon that is created from a collision between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the atmosphere of the earth.
- The lights are also called aurora borealis.
- It’s like a celestial ballet of light dancing across the night sky, with a color palette of green, blue, pink, and violet.
- They manifest in an endless variety of colors and intensities, varying from subtle, almost ghost-like figures moving in the sky to a vibrant and intense multi-color light show.
- The northern light appears in a belt or an oval, which is situated above the Earth in a regular position in relation to the sun.
- They generally extend from 80 kilometres to as high as 640 kilometres above the earth’s surface.
- Some of the best places in the world to see the northern lights are the northern parts of Norway.
- Aurora borealis has its climax when the weather is cold and dry.
- The best place and time to see the Northern lights: in Northern Norway between late September and late March, when it’s dark from early afternoon until late morning.
