Twelve dazzling photos of this week's Southern Lights
"These pics were taken this weekend and I had to share. They are breathtaking *adds to bucket list*" - Keri Miller
The northern lights (or aurora borealis) has been on my bucket list since I first heard about this beautiful phenomenon. My brother and I dreamed of the day or night we got to see them.
The thing is... up until last night I never even knew that the Southern Lights existed. This earth continues to amaze me.
An aurora, sometimes referred to as a polar light, is a natural light display in the sky, predominantly seen in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions.
The Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) and Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) are the results of electrons colliding with the upper reaches of Earth's atmosphere.
It was quite an experience, and made me feel a little less #fomo at missing out on the Northern Lights.
