Northern Lights Hunting
The Aurora Borealis, known commonly as the Northern Lights, is a naturally occurring light display, commonly seen in high-latitude locations. These ethereal lights are formed when solar winds agitate the magnetic field of the earth, ionizing the particles and causing them to give off light which we see in the form of the wispy bands of color across the night sky. The aurora can form in a variety of colors depending on the altitude of the particles where they become ionized.
