Northern Lights
Aurora borealis - the northern lights - the World's Most Amazing Natural Phenomenon
The pulsating and multicoloured northern lights are born at a height of about 100 kilometers above ground level as electrically charged particles collide with the earth's atmosphere near the magnetic poles. Northern lights can be seen from the beginning of September until April (but not every night). Our summertime isn't dark enough for seeing northern lights (we have the midnight sun). There are northern lights in 200 nights in Saariselkä region every year.
The Lonely Planet Blue List 2007 describes the northern lights as ”the World's Most Amazing Natural Phenomenon”.
