NORTHERN LIGHTS
NORWAY is one of the most privileged places in the world to observe the Aurora Borealis.
An aurora borealis occurs when charged particles from the Sun collide with the Earth's magnetic field, these particles from the solar wind are guided by the Earth's magnetic field and head towards the poles, returning the acquired energy in the form of light.
This light can be produced with different intensity and wavelengths, which affect the color of the light.
