The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, are a natural light display predominantly seen in high-latitude regions around the Arctic and Antarctic.

This phenomenon occurs when charged particles from the sun interact with the Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere. This results into colorful displays of light in the sky, typically in shades of green, pink, red, yellow, blue, and violet.

The best times to view the Northern Lights are during the winter months when the nights are longest and skies are darkest.

Popular locations for viewing include parts of Canada, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland.
