On the northern tip of Norway, there are two unique natural landscape: Summer "midnight sun", all night shining on the earth; the winter "Aurora", flashing and occasionally break dark.

The aurora borealis

����Midnight sun spectacular

The best place to watch the spectacle of the two of the three county in northern Norway, namely the Nordland (Nordland) County, Tromso (Troms) county and Fen make (Finnmark) county. The year began in late July since the middle of May, the sun never sets, here is a few on earth can read the newspaper in the midnight sun or one of the golf area. In the world's most northerly at midnight, Troms, 18 hole golf course, 24 hours in summer are open. "Aurora Borealis" too wonderful for words throughout the winter in the northern part of Norway in three counties during the day is very short, and the night was long. But the wonderful Aurora Borealis can compensate you for the sun.

Aurora is a kind of atmosphere, the earth's poles characteristic luminescence. This is due to the positive and negative pole of charged particles from the sun into the polar atmosphere, a physical phenomenon and the collision of neutral gas particles. The aurora borealis is "rare", it's not every day you see, only occasionally "disclosure date", it depends on your luck.

The aurora borealis

The reason is, there the aurora borealis must meet three conditions: the temperature lower than 20 degrees Celsius below zero; the weather to calm, no wind; the cloudless sky to. The three indispensable. I once because of work have repeatedly been to the northern city of Norway, but only a few times to watch the northern lights. I remember in 2003 once to Hakata business, at about 11 p.m., he heard a hubbub of voices, they all rushed out of the hotel, said to be the aurora borealis appears.

At this time I also ran out. Indeed, the northern lights appear. Only in the dark night sky suddenly flashed a color light, like a dragon in the rolling, like the moon in the dance, colorful, green, blue, red, white and different colors together in the dark sky, dancing on the big screen jump, spin, after lasting about 20 minutes, then gradually disappeared. The aurora borealis spectacular and mysterious too wonderful for words.
