*** About Aurora Borealis and Arctic Ice: The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, is a natural light display predominantly seen in high-latitude regions around the Arctic and Antarctic. Caused by disturbances in the magnetosphere due to solar wind, these lights are formed from the emissions of photons in the Earth's upper atmosphere. The Arctic ice, playing a crucial role in global climate regulation, consists mainly of sea ice that forms and melts within the Arctic Ocean. This ice influences oceanic and atmospheric circulation patterns and contributes to the albedo effect, where sunlight is reflected off the Earth’s surface to cool atmospheric temperatures.
