Northern lights pattern forms over mountain peaks

Aurora Borealis shines over mountains – A unique northern lights pattern emerges over the Arctic Circle in Northern Alaska during early Spring above the tree-lined hills and snow-packed peaks. The aurora forms bands during periods of moderate-to-high solar activity and is most visible during times during the equinox, in early Spring and Fall, when the earth is farthest north or south of the sun’s equator.
