No good traveller can imagine traveling around the world, without catching the spectacular Northern lights. Nature's breathtaking light show is an experience you should not miss in your lifetime. When highly charged electrons from the Sun meet with gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere, the Northern lights appear. The spectacular light show happens in areas around the North Magnetic Pole, 30 to 130 kilometres above sea level. The lights, which are also called aurora borealis, show up at night when the sky is dark. It’s like a celestial ballet of light dancing across the night sky, with a colour palette of green, blue, and sometimes even pink and violet. Winter is the ideal season to see the Northern Lights. In clear black sky, the light show becomes more intense. The Northern Lights will last anywhere from a few seconds to a full hour.
