Greenland Northern Lights

In Greenland the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular and beautiful of nature's phenomena and is a sight that we should all experience at least once during our lifetime.

In classic mythology, Aurora was the Roman goddess of the dawn; while "boreal" is a Latin word, meaning "north" - hence Aurora Borealis.
