Do you want to catch the polar lights? Both the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) and Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) offer stunning displays of color.
But capturing them on camera takes a bit of know-how! Use a long exposure and a wide-angle lens to bring the magic to life―sometimes it’s just not visible with a naked eye!
Check the aurora forecast for activity levels (yes, that’s a thing!).
Though the Northern Lights are more famous, the Southern Lights are just as breathtaking—visible from places like Antarctica, New Zealand, and Tasmania.
