by Rebecca Kaye (Author) For thousands of years people have been fascinated by the Aurora Borealis and its magical display of coloured lights dancing across the northern skies. These northern lights are caused by the earth's magnetic field reacting with electrically charged solar particles. Troms in Norway is one of the best places on earth to see this spectacular display.
