The Northern Lights are one of nature’s great displays, a free, multicoloured light show that is most commonly seen in the Arctic regions. Each performance is different, a beautiful, shifting dance of nocturnal rainbows that many viewers find a humbling and spiritually uplifting experience. These ethereal displays take many forms, including arcs, rays, bands, coronas (a crown-like shape) – and dunes, rippled patterns that were recently discovered in Finland and are said to resemble sand dunes.
In recent years, trying to see this elusive and otherworldly sight has become a prime reason to fly north for an adventurous winter break, despite the often high costs and the cold, dark and challenging environment in which it occurs.
