As the nights grow darker in North Iceland, we’re entering that magical time of year — aurora season! From now on, the skies may come alive with dancing waves of green, pink, and even purple light.
Ever wondered why auroras are often green?
Green is the most common aurora color, caused by charged particles colliding with oxygen molecules in Earth’s atmosphere. Our eyes are especially sensitive to green light, making it easier to see — and truly unforgettable.
