Aurora Borealis: Northern Lights

3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

The Aurora is defined as a natural and luminous phenomenon of streamers of arches of light appearing in the upper atmosphere of a planet. It is seen especially in the polar region. On the earth, we can see it near the arctic circles. Since auroras happen everyday somewhere on the earth, auroras can be observed almost everyday at those places as long as the sky is clear at night. The auroras in the Northern Hemisphere are called "aurora borealis" or "the northern lights".

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a six-reindeer open sleigh!

Of course, the sleigh is the only transportation... If you don't have one, you can rent it.
