CANADIAN NORTHERN LIGHTS
EXPERIENCE
Northern Manitoba offers incredible Northern Lights as our lodge is located directly in the Aurora Zone. This Zone is known as the best location to experience the Aurora dancing across the sky. Beginning early August, as darkness appears longer in the Canadian sky, the Northern Lights become increasingly more visible. Enjoy experiencing the Northern Lights in mild temperatures while wearing a light coat.
What Makes the Colors in an Aurora Borealis?
The Northern Lights can display a range of colors from pink, green, yellow, yellow green, blue, violet and sometimes white and orange. These colors are caused by the interaction of solar particles with oxygen, nitrogen and other molecules in the atmosphere of the earth’s magnetic, polar regions.
Most of the time when particles collide with oxygen, they produce yellow and green light. When these particles interact with nitrogen, they will produce reds, violets and sometimes blues. What type of interaction with the solar particle can affect the color? Atomic nitrogen (N2) interactions will have a bluish result while a molecular nitrogen (i.e., more complex molecules that contain nitrogen) will have more of a violet-purple result.
The altitude at which the interactions occur can also affect the colors. Over 150 miles (241 km) above the earth, red are displayed while below 150 miles (241 km) the greens form in the aurora. Purple and violet occur at altitudes above 60 miles (96.5 km) while blues occur below 60 miles (96.5 km) above the earth.
