Northern lights in celebration of nature

When the cold winter months begin, photographers and nature lovers

flock to these areas. They know that this phenomenon will not be

repeated on other days and may end one day due to changing

weather conditions and global warming results that are increasing

year after year and we do not know its future results.

In Iceland, Greenland, Sweden and some of the regions located in the

north of the globe, the sky celebrates a heart-breaking show in which

its bright lights dance and reflect on its snowy land and its frozen

water between different colors green, purple, yellow and red in its

long night within a distinctive astronomical phenomenon They are

called the aurora , the northern lights, or the aurora

No matter how different their names are, they all come together to

try to expose their beautiful beauty and express it in various ways

This phenomenon fascinated everyone, not only tourists and

photographers, but even poets and writers, and before them the

scientists who did not find a single explanation for it until now, but

one of these interpretations says that the activity of the sun affects

the magnetic poles of the planet when the solar wind collides with the

atmosphere, forming a group of lights moving

In another interpretation, this scene is caused by electrically charged

particles from the sun as they collide with the atoms in the magnetic

field surrounding the Earth. As a result of this collision, these lights

see the role of some particles in a spiral shape along the magnetic

field lines and end up in the atmosphere above the poles of the

planet. All this happens at an altitude of 100 km.

It is said that the northern lights are present throughout the year, but

they can only be seen in the winter due to the low levels of air

pollution and the coldness of the air, and because the night usually

lengthens in winter and may reach 24 hours in some areas in northern

Norway, Finland, Sweden and Iceland. others

Best time to see the northern lights

With the changes in the weather, watching the northern lights varies from

year to year, but it is almost constant in all years

One photographer who spent their lives searching for the northern lights

says:

“I’ve spent years researching and photographing this phenomenon in

some of the best places to see the aurora around the world, and

experience has shown me that there are some prerequisites (which are

not always easy) to see the aurora most importantly darkness, clear skies,

and solar activity. All of that and you won’t see it

Note that conditions can change completely from place to place, so it is

important to know not only the best time of year to see the aurora , but

also the best time of day, and when to go to see the aurora at the most

popular aurora destinations.”

But we can conclude from this that early autumn and early spring are

statistically higher with periods of increased solar activity, so the months

of September and March are usually the best to enjoy a great display of

the aurora , as well as the winter months of December, January

and February where snow and cold meet with shows lights

Searching for the aurora

In the circumstances we mentioned, we find that the northern lights are

not guaranteed to the traveler whose purpose of his travel is to see these

lights only, but the travel and tourism companies in these areas took this

issue into consideration and offered trips called “the aurora

chasing” and named so to give the tourist the idea that he It is necessary

to search and move from one place to another to find the best location to

view these lights in their full form. Of course, all these things are

governed by the prevailing weather factors such as clouds, fog or others.

If the best conditions are available, most likely, the viewer will enjoy

displaying the lights to the fullest.

In the end, if you have the opportunity during the year, do not miss these

wonderful trips, and in order not to be disappointed by not seeing this

beauty, choose the best time and the best place and add other activities

to the trip, such as the experience of skating with the famous Husky dogs

or a snow bike tour or hunting Fish on a frozen lake
