What is the Aurora Borealis?

THE Aurora Borealis It is an optical phenomenon, which can be seen more commonly in the polar regions during the night sky.

And because we hear more about the Aurora Borealis? This is because the Arctic Circle is more inhabited.

How are the Aurora Borealis formed?

If you've ever asked yourself this question, we'll help you understand it in an easy way.

It is formed from the force of solar winds that come into contact with the Earth's magnetic field.

In other words, when this happens, we can see a fantastic dance of lights in the sky, a truly incredible spectacle that is worth seeing at least once in a lifetime.

When is it possible to see this phenomenon?

This phenomenon is associated with long, dark nights, but it can also be seen at dusk.

And there is no specific season where it occurs, that is, it is possible to find this phenomenon all year round.

However, it is not always possible to see them. This is because their light is 1 million times weaker than sunlight.

This way, during the day you can't see the Aurora Borealis. Furthermore, at the height of summer the sun does not set at the North Pole, so it is not possible to see it.

Therefore, the best time to see the Aurora is in winter in the polar regions, where the days are shorter and the nights are longer.

In which countries can you see the Northern Lights?

As we said above, in the Polar Region there are many other countries where it is possible to see the Aurora.

They are: Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Alaska, Finland, Canada, Scotland, Greenland and Russia.

To get to these countries, the first step is obviously to search for flights.

It is also important to make sure that you are going during a period when it will be possible to see the Northern Lights so that you do not get frustrated.

Finally, look for the ideal place to see this phenomenon, an open-air location, close to the polar region where you will visit the aurora.

Now that you have learned more about the Northern Lights and where you can see this phenomenon, you can plan your trip to one of these countries.

This way, you will have an incredible experience and you will also get to know a different country.
