See the Aurora Borealis on an Alaskan Cruise

Who needs fireworks when you can admire the spectacular natural beauty of the aurora borealis? The aurora borealis, or Northern Lights, display a stunning array of brilliant colors in the night sky, including green, red, purple, and blue tones.

The aurora borealis are formed when the solar winds from the sun bring charged electrons to interact with our atmosphere. These solar winds follow the earth’s magnetic force lines. The electrical and magnetic forces are constantly moving about, which causes the “dance” of the Northern Lights. The colors can develop into formations such as clouds, arcs, and streamers.

An Alaskan cruise offers some of the best views of the aurora borealis; you can see the brilliant color combinations reflect off the water from an unobstructed vantage point.
