NORTHERN LIGHTS
NORTHERN LIGHTS
The scene that takes place in the celestial sphere is worthy of an Oscar. With eternal and fast movement, nature plays one of her greatest roles on the world's largest screen. The colours are natural and without additives. They wave in rapid motion across the sky like a fluttering curtain or like flashing lights in white, yellow and green. Magical images at an altitude 100 km, so far away and yet so close. See it all from the front row.
When the souls of the deceased play football it lights up the sky.
If you whistle, the lights come closer and take the whistle with
away. A sombre picture perhaps, but this is how Greenlanders
believed the Northern Lights occurred many hundreds of years ago.
Less mythological is the correct explanation of the natural
phenomena.
The Northern Lights are created by electrically charged particles
from the sun. The particles come into the earth's atmosphere and are
conducted through magnetic field lines. Light occurs when the
particles meet molecules. The Northern Lights can be seen all year
round in a dark, clear night sky and they are at their most
beautiful in the autumn and winter. In summer they disappear in the
bright night. Dancing with the Stars in the sky? Then we have the
place for a world-class performance.
