Has anyone really seen the Northern Lights?

Yes, it is said that people who see the aurora will be happy. This trip to Alaska, for me, is to pursue the aurora. At that moment that night, 65438+ 0: 30 in the morning, after two cold and frozen nights, I finally found a happy color. Because I am located in the North Pole, from 1 1 to April of the following year, the daytime will gradually shorten or even disappear with the rotation of the time pointer. And the night will be deeper and longer. The ancients said that one day in the sky and one year on earth. Don't you know that this paradise refers to the polar regions? In the North Pole and South Pole, because the earth is still tilting and rotating when it revolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit, extreme days and nights are formed. It is precisely because of the inclination between its axis and the vertical that when the North Pole is the day when the sun never sets, the South Pole is the long night. No matter the North Pole or the South Pole, the closer you get to the pole, there is only one day and one night in a year. The word dragon has also been fully interpreted and witnessed. The wind is rustling and the night is long. I don't know why, no one has ever complained about that long and difficult day. In this way, the long night can be described as real unbearable and suffering. As a result, how to solve the problem? Answer, only the aurora. A light-chasing trip came from seeing a picture about the aurora in Iceland. According to the article, in order to improve the quality of viewing the aurora, the Icelandic government specifically stipulates that when the aurora season comes, Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, will turn off the lights in a limited time to reduce light pollution, thus increasing the probability of tourists watching the aurora. I don't know if I was fascinated by the electric shock of those aurora pictures, or just coincided with the aurora front, which happened to be 165438+ 10, so I did not hesitate to book a cabin light to chase the night for 3 nights. Aurora, the two most common circular areas near 67 degrees north and south latitude, is called the northern and southern aurora area. The northern hemisphere is mainly Alaska, Siberia, Iceland, Greenland and Norway. In the southern hemisphere, it is mainly concentrated near Antarctica. From ancient times to the present, aurora is something that can be met but not sought. Many people love the aurora, but they can't meet each other after many times. Fairbanks was chosen this time because it is the most likely city to see the aurora among the aurora borealis 10 cities, and is known as the "Northern Lights Capital". Then, I think there will be a greater chance to meet them. Every night, during the journey of Aurora Cabin, the bus will arrive at the hotel where tourists stay at about 10 that afternoon, and then carry travelers from all over the world to different mountain cabins, away from the city and avoiding light damage. The first night, it was a double-decker wooden house in a mountain farm. In the last two nights, it was a ski resort between low mountains and canyons. The farm hut on the hillside is run by a couple. The woman is from China, and the man seems to be a local aborigine. There is warm tea and coffee in the wooden house, and there are many snacks. On the wall on one side of the room, there is a big projection, and a documentary about the aurora is played in a loop. Under the glass window near the corridor are some comfortable couches. There are many wooden chairs neatly placed in the middle area for photographers to wait for a rest. Outside the wooden house, there is a promenade on one side and a platform on the other side, which has a wide field of vision and is suitable for shooting. However, that night, when we look around, we can only see vilen, which is thousands of miles frozen, and the bright starry sky in dark Wan Li. Compared with the wooden house on the farm, the wooden house on the ski resort seems to have a little more mysterious charm. There are only a few dozen steps between each wooden house. Rows of wooden tables and chairs are neatly placed inside. The cabin is fully heated and has a long red light. Red, under the light and day _ is defined as high-key and warm. However, the red light at that moment was so mysterious and blurred, low-key and soft. Although sitting in the house, you can see the instantaneous change of the starry sky outside the window through the wide glass window. However, at any time, regardless of the cold of minus 30-40 degrees Celsius, people will still wear heavy warm clothes, fully armed to the point where only a pair of eyes are left, go outside with cameras and tripods, walk under the bright starry sky and look up at the sky, full of longing and expectation, and watch the arrival of the aurora. I can't restrain my expectations. So I got up and joined the outdoor waiters. Outside the wooden house, not far away, there is a ski equipment made of metal. A bottomless valley and deep valley are covered with snow in the dark. In the distance, it is still an endless starry sky. I accidentally saw a red fox running out of the snow and hiding in the shadow of the ski platform. Then he ran to the valley and disappeared. Strolling in the ski resort, I sometimes hear three or two exclamations looking up at the stars, and sometimes I hear a few aurora looming. The northern lights, about its origin, have been debated endlessly. Some people say that it is a fire burning at the outer edge of the earth; Some people say that it is a strange light reflected by the sky after the sun sets; Some people say that it is some kind of energy released by ice and snow at night after absorbing sunlight during the day. With the deepening of space exploration and cognition and the continuous launch of rockets and satellites, human beings have finally given a more scientific and reasonable explanation. Aurora is an optical phenomenon excited by charged particles blown by solar storms and atoms and molecules in the upper atmosphere of the earth. No matter what its definition is, aurora is an extremely precious gift given by nature to mankind. It is said that people who see the aurora will be happy. At that moment, 65438+ 0: 30 in the morning, after two cold and frozen nights, I found a happy color. The wish to see the aurora has finally come true. See, in the boundless sky, slowly radiant with a large faint green. Then, slowly deepen the progress. Finally, it turned into bright green, like the silk left by the fairy in the sky, flying in the air and floating out dust. At the same time, on the other side of the sky, a large green brilliance with different shades appeared in Ran Ran, which gradually bloomed and set off the sky against the darkness. Everything seems like a lifetime ago, not a dream, but dreamlike and mysterious. The ethereal and magical aurora alternately condense, one after another, changing rapidly and colorful. Sometimes it's like the ebb and flow of the tide, turning thousands of times; Sometimes, it seems to be a road that breaks the sky sharply and breaks the sky; Sometimes, its momentum is huge, just like a huge whirlpool; Sometimes, its floating light is far away, just like a thousand troops turning around and leaving, which is a shocking and wonderful visual feast. If facing the sea, bloom is warm in spring, which is the most romantic scene in the daytime. Source: Travel Overview
