Northern lights, Aurora Borealis, are natural light in the sky created when fast moving, charged particles from the sun collide with atoms and molecules in the Earth's atmosphere, usually at about 100 km altitude. The most common colors of northern lights are yellowish-green, green, but red, reddish-purple and purple shades are also sometimes seen.
The best time to see the northern lights is by night so those tours normally start around 8 pm and can stay until 2 am.
