Why visit? Here's a reason:
The aurora borealis, or Northern Lights, is a spectacular showing of colored lights that streak the night sky. It is most commonly green, but can be anywhere from pink to blue or yellow. The aurora borealis is one of nature's most stunning phenomena, and it is a truly impressive sight.
Northern Lights are caused when charged particles from the sun collide with gas particles in the Earth's atmosphere. They release energy in the form of light. Different gas atoms cause different colors to appear. The best places to see these lights are Canada and Alaska. Plan your visit to the tundra today and maybe you will be lucky enough to experience this awe-inspiring spectacle of nature. |
