The stunning light show you see above is not a result of hard work by a team of lighting professionals or engineers. No, this menagerie of colours that lights up the night is Mother Nature at her finest. Known as an aurora, natural light displays such as these, are mainly seen in high latitude (Northern Hemisphere) and low (Southern Hemisphere) regions of the world. The phenomenon occurs near the magnetic poles of each hemisphere and is known as the Aurora Borealis in the north and Aurora Australis in the south.
These amazing displays light up the skies with myriad colours and various shapes from arcs to ripples that resemble something you’d expect to see in a science fiction movie. The Northern Lights would be a fantastic addition to any bucket list, specifically for those with a love of the outdoors and surreal experiences. No doubt your camera will love you for it too.
