The famous Aurora Borealis, the dancing fluorescent ribbons that light up the night sky, enthralling even “sourdoughs” (old-timers) in Alaska.
The aurora was named after the Roman goddess of dawn, and was long thought to be produced by sunlight reflected from polar snow and ice, or refracted light much like rainbows.

There are also Southern Lights (Aurora Australis)! But these phenomemon are awesome!
One thing I want to see before I die is the aurora, preferrably strong.

aurora is also the best name ever
I saw it once (I live just outside of Stockholm)... But that time it was more like a damp-blurry-cloud-like-thing that made the sky kind of … redish.
^still, I´m happy to have the chance to see them, since I know alot of people dream of seeing them once ^,
yall are so lucky I wish I lived somewhere where i could experience this
The pictures are great, I’m sure they are a poor substitute for the real thing.
Hey, I would like visit Finland ;)
I've never seen it but i've heard it beautiful :)
I took a trip to Alaska recently.
But since it's the middle of summer that ment 24-hour daylight and no Lights... :(
i wanna see it myself
looks like the coolest thing to see …
Sometimes you can see them where I live, a few years back a group of us were smoking and playing frisbee in a dark field, I layed down to look at the lights with my girl and got a frisbee in the nose OUCH!! bunch of savages in this town…
this is such a wonder that will make my life's destination-goals truly accomplished.
