Have the Northern Lights always been on your must-see bucket list? This incredible phenomena is only visible in the Northern Hemisphere, but is well worth the trek to get there! Also known as the “aurora borealis,” these beautiful lights are caused by solar particles blown into the earth’s magnetic field. The most common colors you’ll see are pale yellows and greens — with the best viewing spots in dark and clear skies. We recommend planning your trip during the months of August through late April for the best chance of catching the lights in their prime. From the shores of Scotland to the skies of Alaska, here are some of our favorite places for viewing the Northern Lights on your amazing vacation.
