Named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas, the ‘dancing skies’ of the north produce an amazing, beautiful display of colours and light across the sky! The Northern Lights can be seen best from northern latitudes - that means, the further north you go the more likely you are to see them.  Amazing Northern Lights chalk activity!
