Northern Lights, Finland
The Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis, are a natural light display in the sky, predominantly seen in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions. Auroras can take many different visual forms. The most distinctive and brightest are the curtain-like auroral arcs. They eventually fragment or ‘break-up’ into separate, and rapidly changing, often rayed features which may fill the whole sky. The northern lights have had a number of names throughout history. The Cree called the phenomenon the "Dance of the Spirits". In Medieval Europe, the auroras were commonly believed to be a sign from God.
