THINGS TO SEE
NORTHERN LIGHTS
QUICK PHOTO TIPS
The natural phenomenon of the Aurora Borealis, known as the Northern Lights, is created by electrically-charged particles from the sun. Local folklore spins fascinating stories of spirits playing games with human skulls as an alternate explanation. These enchanting lights illuminate Greenland with colors that vary from green, purple and red. The most dramatic displays are visible high amidst mountains and ice in autumn.
