Aurora Borealis are also referred to as northern lights. They are very famous attractions that attract people from all over the world.
One needs to plan a cruise very carefully in order to be able to see them. They are only seen in the arctic areas when the nights are completely dark. The cruises that are operated in areas where Aurora Borealis can be seen are often well planned in order to avoid disappointing the people taking the voyage. There are many tales that makes the cruises worth taking. The Eskimos are the ones who gave the lights the term 'Aurora borealis', which also refers to a goddess of dawn. Some people believe that the lights come from torches being used by people who are going into the afterlife.
On a scientific platform, the light is believed to come from the sunlight that gets reflected from polar ice and snow or alternatively, through refraction similar to what causes rainbows. Recent research suggests that this light is a result of radiation coming from atoms that are in the upper atmosphere. The color that you can see during the cruise is determined by the type of atom being emitted.
An aurora borealis cruise will give you new meaning as soon as you get a first-hand experience of the manner in which these colored ribbons of light dance in the sky. The visual patterns are simply amazing to watch. The patterns are too intricate for even the most talented painter to draw.
