Section A Finland Northern Lights
The Northern Lights, also known as “Aurora Borealis(北极光)” or the “Dawn of the North”, never fail to take your breath away. The aurora borealis is one of the most sublime(超群的) and magnificent natural phenomena on Earth. Before scientists cracked(侦破) the mystery of the auroras, men were drawn(吸引) and fascinated(强烈地吸引住) by the dancing and magical lights that were often found in mythology(神话) and legends. In Roman Mythology, it is said that the Aurora is the deity(神) of the dawn. In North America, the Inuits (爱斯基摩人)have many legends that explain them as spirits of the dead. They believed that the lights are the esnces(精华) of deer, salmon(鲑鱼), als and other animals that they hunted. Aristotle方言土语 (亚里斯多德)thought it was glowing air gushing(喷出) from cracks in the sky. The appearance of the red aurora in medieval(中世纪的) times was feared as a bad omen (前兆) or a sign of God's anger. They believed the manifestation (显现)of the aurora indicated famine or war. Charles Hall (查尔斯·霍尔), a 19th-century polar explorer, exclaimed: "Who but God can conceive(想出) such infinite(无穷的) scenes of glory?" Oddly enough, the Ma
ori (毛利人)thought that the displays were just reflections of a campfire(营火) or torches.

Finland（芬兰）, for example, should be a reprentative. Many visitors to Finland come with hopes of eing the Finland awaitedNorthern Lights. The best place to e the Northern Lights in Finland is in the northern Lapland region(拉普兰地区), which is almost entirely located within the realm(区域) of the Arctic Circle (北极圈). During the dark winter months here, when the sun rarely peaks(使达到最高峰) its head over the horizon, you can expect to e the Finland Northern Lights with regularity, and other peak(峰值) asons include February through March and September through October. The time between and is the most inten period of the day. The highest probability within this timespan（时间间隔）to e the Finland Northern Lights is between and 11:, though they are certainly not res
tricted to this time frame. If you have never en the Northern Lights wherever they commonly occur in the world, then you will be amazed the first time when you lay eyes on them.
The Northern Lights are similar to a sunt in the sky at night, but appear occasionally in arcs（弧光）or spirals（螺旋形物）usually following the earth's magnetic（磁性的）field. They are most often light green in color but often have a hint of pink. Swirling(涡旋形的) shades of blue, green, and pink are most common when it comes to the Finland Northern Lights. Strong eruptions also have violet(紫罗兰色的) and white colours. Red northern lights are rare, but can sometimes be obrved on lower latitudes(纬度).

The Finland Aurora Borealis, while best en in Lapland, can also be witnesd as far south as the capital city of Helsinki(赫尔辛基) from time to time, though on average, there are only some twenty days out of the year when viewing them is possible in most southern parts of the country. Part of the reason why it can be diff宽敞的意思
icult to e the Northern Lights of Finland in Helsinki is becau of the fact that it is hard to escape to dimly lit areas. The relative lack of city lights is just one of the reasons why the Lapland region es some 200 nightly occurrences every year, and one must also consider the region’s northern location. The lower reaches(区域) of the Arctic Circle are ideal for viewing the Northern Lights across the planet, which is why Canada and Alaska are good destinations in the Western Hemisphere(半球).
For tho who are wondering what caus the Northern Lights in Finland, solar flares(耀斑) are largely responsible. The flares effectively cau solar winds and solar storms, which create lingering(游移的) atmospheric particles or matter. The Aurora Borealis is just caud by the charged(带电的) particles(粒子) ejected(喷出) from the sun. When the particles reach the earth, they collide(碰撞) with gas atoms in the earth's atmosphere causing them to energi( 释放出能量) which results in a spectacular multi-coloured light show. As such(因此), scientists can often accurately predict when the best times are for viewing the Northern Lights in
Finland by keeping an eye out for(留心) solar flares. ( 757 words)
