Witness the Ethereal Beauty of the Northern and Southern Lights
When and Where to Catch the Celestial Spectacle
Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis)
The Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis, are a vibrant celestial display caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with the Earth's atmosphere. This phenomenon typically occurs in the high-latitude regions of the Northern Hemisphere, including:
- Alaska, USA
- Northern Canada
- Northern Europe (e.g., Norway, Sweden, Finland)
- Russia
The best time to view the Northern Lights is during the winter months (September to April), when the nights are longer and the skies are clearer. Specific dates and times can vary depending on location and weather conditions.
Southern Lights (Aurora Australis)
The Southern Lights, or aurora australis, are the southern counterpart of the Northern Lights and occur in the high-latitude regions of the Southern Hemisphere, including:
- Antarctica
- Southern Australia
- South America (e.g., Argentina, Chile)
- New Zealand
The best time to view the Southern Lights is also during the winter months (March to September) in the Southern Hemisphere.
