But where can you find the best places to see the northern lights? A magical display of illuminating swirls in the dark skies. So, how about a front-row seat to the ethereal fireworks?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">That said, there is nothing as magical as the Aurora Borealis, Earth&#8217;s natural technicolour display. Indeed, you&#8217;ll never experience anything like this bewitching affair! Catching a glimpse of this astonishing phenomenon is on many travellers&#8217; bucket lists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Since there are plenty of places to see the Northern Lights, I have come up with a complete rundown of where you can witness the most incredible light show on Earth! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">If sighting the natural marvel is on your bucket list, keep reading to discover them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color\" id=\"heading\" ><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">What are the northern lights?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Portraying as a luminosity of technicolour rays, swirls or ribbons across the sky, the Northern Lights, orAurora Borealis, is a result of charged particles from the sun clashing with aeriform particles in the Earth&#8217;s environment. It is blown towards Earth by solar winds, resulting in a release of a photon that appears as light. However, the colour depends on the particles that are clashing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"  border: 8px double black; border-radius: 12px; padding: 15px; background-color:rgb(0, 128, 128, 0.85);\">\n<h4 style=\"color:white;\">Fun Facts : <\/h4>\n<ul style=\"color:white; font-size:17px;\">\n  <li>This phenomenon was named after Aurora, the Roman goddess of dawn and admired for hundreds of years.&nbsp;<\/li>\n  <li>The Vikings believed the gleaming Aurora were reflections of the shining shields and armour of the gods.
