1. What are the Northern Lights?
– Greens, pinks, and purples appear due to oxygen and nitrogen collisions.
– September to April, during dark, clear nights with no moon.
– Strong solar winds mean a better chance to see the lights.
– Visit Tromsø, Reykjavik, Finnish Lapland, Yellowknife, or Fairbanks.
– Find dark, open areas to see the lights better.
– Layer up with thermal clothes for cold Arctic nights.
– A DSLR with a tripod, low ISO, and long exposure captures the best shots.
– The Northern Lights are unpredictable, so allow extra viewing time.
The magic of the Northern Lights will stay in your heart forever.
