Northern Lights



Northern Lights...


Yet to be encountered, but will be in the land of the midnight sun...
which I had thought was just Alaska or the North Pole, but find out Norway too!

Does make sense that the "northern" lights would show up in "North-way"?!


I'm going to fantasyland--& we're not talking Disney either!!

Northern Lights - see the Northern Lights in Norway
The Northern Lights - nature's own light show - are solar winds that meet the atmosphere in a zone around the magnetic North Pole, forming arches, waves and curls of light moving across the sky, with sudden rays of light shooting down from space.The Northern Lights are visible between November and March when the sky is clear, depending on the Northern Lights activity.
The best place to see the Northern Lights is in the Northern parts of Norway, and the area around the Arctic city of Tromso offers a maximum of Northern Lights activity.
