See the northern lights

Imagine seeing a dark night sky illuminated with shimmering streaks of blue, red and green.
The 'Aurora Borealis', more commonly known as the northern lights, is a natural phenomenon created when charged particles from the sun collide with particles above the polar regions of the Earth. This collision emits visible light, varying in intensity depending on solar activity.
Northern lights are usually seen in an oval shaped zone around the North Pole. The lights have on rare occasions been seen from Northern Scotland, but for a greater chance of seeing this spectacular sight without going too far afield, head for Northern Norway.
