Aurora Borealis, Norway

The Aurora Borealis is a magnificent light show caused by light particles from the sun interacting with the gases in our atmosphere, like oxygen and nitrogen. Although they’re most closely associated with Alaska, they can actually be seen in both hemispheres. The ones we’re familiar with in the northern hemisphere, the Northern Lights, can be seen in Alaska, northern parts of Canada, Norway, and Sweden. In the southern hemisphere, they’re referred to as Southern Lights.
