When Nature Turns On its Lights


Nature's own theater unfold above you as the most spectacular light installation takes the stage: it is Aurora Borealis or what is known as Northern lights! Scientifically, the aurora is natural light viewed in the sky (and mainly in Polar Regions) due to the collision of charged particles directed by the Earth's magnetic field. This phenomenon is commonly visible between 65 to 72 degrees north and south latitudes, which place them in a ring just within the Arctic and Antarctic polar circles. Poetically, "No pencil can draw it, no colors can paint it, and no words can describe it in all its magnificence."-Julios von Payer; and “casually”, it is the most marvelous thing you can ever see in your life (well in my opinion!).
Now, where and when to see the northern lights (whether to propose, or for mediation or… whatever) ??
The best place to watch northern lights is above the Arctic Circle in Northern Norway, and they are most frequent in late autumn and winter/early spring. However, no exact time can be given; it depends on ur luck and patience!
