I've always been a lover of nature, so settling here feels like home to me. I'm a copywriter, a chemist, and an entrepreneur. It feels great I could share my love for auroras, ancient worlds, underwater treasures and other great wonders of the world. As an introductory post, I'd like to share my love for auroras, maybe you'll love them too.
AURORAS
The first time I saw it was in a movie animation series. I think it was Avatar. I'd actually thought it was just an animation effect. Then I kept on seeing it on other movies. I didn't know what it was called at the time, so I googled it as "colorful lights in the sky".
I got to find out they were real and they move too. I saw a video too on YouTube here
So I did a little research and got to find out what they are and how they are formed. According to space.com
At the center of the sun, the temperature is 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius). As the temperature on its surface rises and falls, the sun boils and bubbles. Particles escape from the star from the sunspot regions on the surface, hurtling particles of plasma, known as the solar wind, into space. It takes these winds around 40 hours to reach Earth. When they do, they can cause dramatic displays known as the aurora borealis.
Although, they cannot be seen in my own part of the world. They can only be seen in the northern and southern hemispheres of the earth. Countries around those regions include;
- Alaska, USA. Aurora over Alaska. ...
- Northern Canada. Aurora Borealis over Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. ...
- Iceland. Volcanic landscapes, geothermal hot springs, and majestic waterfalls are but a sliver of Iceland's allure. ...
- Norway. Northern Lights over Nappstinden
- Finland
- Russia
- Sweden
- Greenland.
And many more... The ones above are the best places to see them.

Though I'm currently putting some money aside to go on a trip on a quest on seeing these lights amidst other wonders of the world. I hope my dreams come true and yours too.
