Northern lights over Helsinki
The Northern Lights, polar lights or aurora borealis as they are called are a once in a lifetime experience for many of us. The display of this astronomical phenomena can be experienced at places which are located at high latitude. They begin in the Earths atmosphere at altitudes from 60 to more than 250 miles—when charged particles from the sun become trapped in the Earth's magnetic field. The result is a colorful, dancing light show.
The city of Helsinki presents this phenomenon in its autumn and winter months, as the summers there are mostly night less.
The best months to see the Northern lights in the city are from September to October and from February to March. On cloudless nights you can try viewing them between 9 pm and 1 am in the morning.
