Kulusuk is located in southeastern Greenland and is one of the many places where the Aurora Borealis, commonly known as the Northern Lights, can be seen from September to April. The Auroro Borealis are caused by collisions between the sun’s electrically charged particles and molecules and atoms in the Earth’s atmosphere. The beautiful light show takes place in the upper atmosphere at a height of around 100 kilometres and can best be compared to candles flickering in the wind or fluttering curtains in shades of green and yellow. Greenland is one of the best places in the world to observe the northern lights, so off I go!
