*** About Aurora Borealis: The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is a natural light display predominantly seen in high-latitude regions around the Arctic and Antarctic. These spectacular displays are caused by the interaction of the Earth’s magnetic field with charged particles from the sun. The colors and patterns of the aurora vary depending on the type and amount of gas particles involved and the altitude at which these interactions occur. Commonly appearing in greens and pinks, the aurora can also show red, yellow, blue, and violet hues. The best time to view the Aurora Borealis is during long, dark nights typically from September to March.:
