Arktikum, le musée

"Un très beau musée consacré à l'artique, sa nature et ses cultures"

The Northern lights occur when electrically charged particles arriving from the space bombard the atoms and molecules of the upper atmosphere. The origin of these particles is in the solar wind, but they do not enterEarth’s atmosphere directly from the sun. Instead, they arrive from the shadowside of the Earth, quided by magnetic field of the Earth to enter only the polar regions.
