CHASING THE NORTHERN LIGHTS :
The Northern Lights are one of nature's most majestic artistic displays.With the ever-growing ease of travel and technological advancements, chasing the Northern Lights has never been easier.The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, occur when excited solar particles collide with atmospheric gases. This produces a neon light show that can last for minutes or even days at a time.
One lesser known fact is that the aurora can be seen in both the northern and southern hemispheres. In the northern hemisphere, they're known as “Aurora Borealis” or “Northern Lights”. In the southern hemisphere, they are “Aurora Australia” or “Southern Lights”. It is the same natural phenomenon, only it occurs in different regions.
The best time to see the Northern Lights is during cold, dark nights with clear skies. Some regions of the world have sightings year round, but your odds are greatest during winter when the nights are longer, colder, and clearer.Usually between August till April.
So, keen to add some aurora-spotting to your bucket list?
