Follow
our trail to spot Northern Lights till March
AURORA
BOREALIS (NORTHERN LIGHTS)
The
sky can change colours! Hard to believe, well then head to one
of
nature's magic show, Aurora Borealis also known as Northern Lights.
How
does it occur? It's simple actually, when solar particles enter the
Earth's
atmosphere and on impact emit burning gases that produce
different
coloured lights (oxygen produces green and yellow; nitrogen blue).
The
months of February and March are the best time to witness this
beautiful
wizardry . However, the only problem is that you will have to
brave
the harsh snow. But then again, no pain no gain.
Take
a look at some of the best places to spot the Aurora Borealis At the
Saariselkä
in Finland, you can gaze from the comfort of your own glass
igloo,
and stay in a traditional log cabin complete with sauna and open fire.
In
Lapland, Sweden's Abisko National Park, a village called Jukkasjärvi
and
the Torne Valley Porjus and Laponia can make for best viewing.
The
cloudless sky in Reykjavik in Iceland can promise a display .
The
Aurora Oval covers majority of the country, including the states of
Yukon,
Northern Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, Newfoundland,
Nova
Scotia and British Columbia in Canada. With the right conditions, you're
highly likely to see the lights here, and you can fill the rest of your
holiday with skiing and other snowy activities.
