Arguably the most magnificent natural display on Earth, The Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis have always fascinated mankind. While we all know about these Northern and Southern lights, many, perhaps, do not know how they come to be. They occur when solar activity in the form of highly charged electrons are blown towards earth. The electrons interact with elements in the Earth's atmosphere. Solar winds stream away from the sun at speeds of about 1 million miles per hour and reach the Earth some 40 hours later. As the electrons enter the earth's upper atmosphere, they encounter atoms of oxygen and nitrogen at different altitudes, ranging from 20 to 200 miles above the earth's surface. The colour of the aurora depends on which atom is first struck and at what altitude, as follows:

• Green - oxygen, up to 150 miles in altitude • Red - oxygen, above 150 miles in altitude • Blue - nitrogen, up to 60 miles in altitude • Purple/violet - nitrogen, above 60 miles in altitude

It often looks like the auroras are dancing through the sky, this is because the magnetic and electric forces are reacting with each other in constantly shifting combinations.

This amazing spectacle is at its most active in the peak of sunspot activity which is an 11 year cycle. If you are lucky enough to be able to witness it firsthand, please take advantage; for everyone else, here is a link to some great photos: http://www.psdeluxe.com/articles/inspiration/50-magnificent-aurora-borealis-pictures/

Alaska’s Amazing Aurora

The Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis is an awe inspiring natural phenomenon. To understand how the aurora occurs think of the earth as one giant magnet. The aurora is formed by electrons moving along our planet’s magnetic field to the Polar Regions where they collide with oxygen and nitrogen atoms in Earth’s upper atmosphere. In these collisions, the electrons transfer their energy to the atmosphere and it is released in the form of photons of light. The colors depend on the atoms that are excited with oxygen giving off the most familiar green and sometimes red glow and nitrogen a blue glow. The same type of energy exchange process works to make neon lights glow. The Aurora changes shape as the beams of electrons move. Often it appears as tall rays that look much like a curtain made of folds of cloth. The arcs twist and sway, just as if a wind were blowing on the curtains of light.

During major geomagnetic storms the aurora expands away from the Polar Region and can be seen over portions of the lower 48 states. However, the best place to observe the aurora regularly is under an oval shaped region between the latitudes of about 60 and 75 degrees. At these latitudes, the aurora can be observed more than half of the nights of a given year. Interior Alaska is right in the heart of the northern hemisphere’s peak viewing latitudes with Fairbanks falling at 65 degrees latitude. Several BLM areas offer some of the best viewing opportunities anywhere for adventurous and prepared visitors. The White Mountains National Recreation Area has an extensive trail network and reserveable cabins for mushers, snowmobilers and cross country skiers. Further north, Coldfoot Camp (population 13) is a dramatic and very remote viewing area along the Dalton Highway and is accessed by guided aurora tour groups even in midwinter. The University of Alaska Geophysical Institute has an aurora forecast page for both Alaska and the lower 48: http://www.gi.alaska.edu/AuroraForecast/ 

Late Summer through Mid Spring are peak viewing times in Alaska as the midnight sun state does not have dark enough skies in summer for viewing the aurora.

Как увидеть северное сияние? Без лишних слов пошагово расскажу как проще всего поймать северное сияние. 1) Говорят, что лучшее время для наблюдения северных мияний в Мурманской области с октября по январь, но это не мешает вам случайно увидеть его и в другое время. 2) Сверяем долгосрочный прогноз тут: http://www.gi.alaska.edu/AuroraForecast/Europe/20170120 . Необходима мощность хотя бы Kp 4-5 в прогнозе, чтобы были реальные шансы на месте. Прогноз сияний так же неточен, как прогноз погоды, поэтому чем ближе к предполагаемой дате поездки будете сверять прогноз, тем лучше. 3) Прогноз на ближайших три дня и почассовой прогноз для ориентации на месте тут: http://www.aurora-service.eu/aurora-forecast-non-flash/ 4) Без ясного неба сияния не увидеть. Проверяем облачность, в том числе почасовой прогноз уже на месте тут: https://www.gismeteo.ru/weather-murmansk-3903/ 5) Выбрав день, берем билеты в Мурманск. От аэропорта идет автобус 106 до конечной "Автовокзал". Оттуда можно поехать на побрежье Баренцева моря в Териберку (это там разворачивались события фильма "Левиофан"). Расписание автобусов до Терииберки: Автобус из Мурманска до Териберки: пн ср пт вск в 18.00 Из Териберки в Мурманск: пн вт чт сб в 7.00 - в Мурманск прибывает в 11.00 Дорогу на Териберку зимой часто закрывают из-за снегопадов. Проверить, открыта ли дорога (Автомобильная дорога Кола-Серебрянские ГЭС) и когда откроют, можно здесь: http://madroad.ru 6) Попадете ли вы в Териберку или останетесь в Мурманске особого значения для северного сияния не имеет. Главное следить за облачностью. Когда мы при��хали, дорога на Териберку была закрыта, и мы остались в Мурманске. Взяли машину в аренду и выезжали за город каждую ночь, когда сияло по прогнозу. В самом Мурманске слишком много света, даже если погода ясная. 7) Настройки фотоаппарата, чтобы сфотографировать северное сияние, на примере Nikon D5100 с объективом Sigma 18-125. Выдержка 10-30 сек. в зависимости от яркости сияния, полностью открытая диафрагма (у меня доступно было только ft 3,8, при значении в ft 2,8 можно сократить выдержку до 4 сек.), iso 1250 Вот и всего-то ;)

How to see Nothern lights (aurora borealis) in Murmansk? Due to the low currency rates in Russia nowadays, it's quite cheap to travel to Russia and it's a good chance to explore this country. From Murmansk you can see the Nothern lights. Murmansk is the biggest city in the world above the Arctic circle! You can get there by plane or by train. From Murmansk you can also get to the shore of Barents Sea (Arctic ocean) - the place called Teriberka. But for this opportunity you'd better check travel agency or ask the english speaking guys at your hotel or on airbnb.com as the bus drivers in Murmansk or Teriberka don't speak English. Here are the easiest steps to see the Nothern lights. 1) The best time to see Nothern lights in Murmansk is from October to January 2) Check the longterm aurora forecast at http://www.gi.alaska.edu/AuroraForecast/Europe/20170120 . The power should be at least Kp 4-5, as the aurora forecast is not much accurate. 3) When you are in Murmansk, you'll need the more accurate forcast for the nearest days and hours. It's better to use this one: http://www.aurora-service.eu/aurora-forecast-non-flash/ 4) You'll also need the weather forecast, because without clear sky you have not many chances to see the Nothern lights. Don't forget to check the hourly forecast when you're in town. 5) From Teriberka you can easily see the Nothern lights as it's not a big community. From Murmansk you'd better rent a car and get out of city at night as there is too much light. 6) The sample of settings for the camera Nikon D5100 and Sigma lens 18-125 to take a shot of Nothern lights are the following: ISO 1250, f/3,8 ,10-30sec. That's all. Good luck!
