Northern Europe with Northern Lights in the distance

The Northern Lights are an occurrence in the northern areas of the polar region or northern Europe. Northern Europe, geographically, comprises of Iceland, Denmark, Norway, the Faroe Island, Sweden, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Greenland, and the British Isles. They frequently occur in a region of 2500 km radius centred on the magnetic north pole. This aurora or northern light zone extends all over the northern Scandinavian islands, though the occurrence is more pronounced in the coasts of Norway, and with mild winter climate and easy accessibility, north Norway has become an attractive tourist destination for individuals keen to observe this atmospheric miracle.
