The Lofoten Islands, a magical place in the heart of the Arctic Circle .
Some of the most spectacular Arctic nights I’ve captured in the Lofoten Islands over the past few years.
Northern lights (aurora borealis): what they are and how to see them.
The northern lights are an atmospheric phenomenon that's regarded as the Holy Grail of skywatching.
The northern lights, or the aurora borealis, are beautiful dancing ribbons of light that have captivated people for millennia. But for all its beauty, this spectacular light show is a rather violent event.
The northern lights are created when energized particles from the sun slam into Earth's upper atmosphere at speeds of up to 45 million mph (72 million kph), but our planet's magnetic field protects us from the onslaught.
As Earth's magnetic field redirects the particles toward the poles — there are southern lights, too, which you can read about below — the dramatic process transforms into a cinematic atmospheric phenomenon that dazzles and fascinates scientists and skywatchers alike.
At any given moment, the sun is ejecting charged particles from its corona, or upper atmosphere, creating the solar wind. When that wind slams into Earth's ionosphere, or upper atmosphere, the aurora is born. In the Northern Hemisphere, the phenomenon is called the northern lights (aurora borealis), while in the Southern Hemisphere, it's called the southern lights (aurora australis).
"These particles are deflected towards the poles of Earth by our planet's magnetic field and interact with our atmosphere, depositing energy and causing the atmosphere to fluoresce," Billy Teets, the director of Dyer Observatory at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee told Space.com.
The bright colors of the northern lights are dictated by the chemical composition of Earth's atmosphere.
"Every type of atom or molecule, whether it's atomic hydrogen or a molecule like carbon dioxide, absorbs and radiates its own unique set of colors, which is analogous to how every human being has a unique set of fingerprints," Teets told Space.com.
"Some of the dominant colors seen in aurorae are red, a hue produced by the nitrogen molecules, and green, which is produced by oxygen molecules." Teet continued.
Join me this winter to experience this magic, and take home next-level photographs and memories that will last a lifetime:
