When and Where to See the Northern Lights this Winter
Winter 2013/2014 is set to be a solar maximum, which means your chances of seeing the Northern Lights are higher than they’ve been in a decade. The Northern Lights (or aurora borealis) is the name for the flashes of green, red, purple lights that ripple across the night sky every winter. You can see them in countries close to the North Pole, such as Norway or Finland.
