Have you ever witnessed the famous Northern Lights? You won't believe your own eyes! For Northern Light tours in Iceland, see: https://guidetoiceland.is/book-trips-holiday/nature-tours/northern-lights The Northern Lights, commonly known as the aurora borealis, were named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas. The Northern lights are a natural light display in the sky particularly in the high latitude regions, both the Arctic and Antarctic (where they are called the aurora australis), caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere (thermosphere). The charged particles originate in the magnetosphere and solar wind and, on Earth, are directed by the Earth´s magnetic field into the atmosphere. Luckily for travellers in the north, a side effect of all of this is the dazzling spectrum of colours that light up the skies in the long arctic winter nights!
