Vivid Colours of Russia's Arctic Night: Mother Nature Displays Magnificent Northern Lights

The northern lights are one of the most astonishing natural phenomena that can be observed in the regions near the Arctic Circle from August to mid-April.

They are displayed either as a bunch of coloured stripes moving in the sky or as a luminous mist. While the main colour of the northern lights is green, lucky individuals can also see purple and pink beams of light.

Check out the gallery to enjoy one of Mother Nature's magnificent gifts.
