Capture the Northern Lights in a Stunning Custom Frame

The northern lights create an astounding display of glowing light in the sky. Maybe you have seen them in real life, on TV, or in a friend’s personal picture frame- since those who witness the phenomenon can’t help but take pictures. Although many people have seen the northern lights, fewer understand what actually creates them. There are three things that must take place in order for the northern lights to appear:

• 1. Our sun has magnetic fields that are constantly contorting as it rotates on its axis. When these magnetic fields are twisted together they burst, creating sunspots.
• 2. When particles from the sun are released from these sunspots, bits of plasma are thrown into space.
• 3. When these particles come in contact with the Earth’s magnetic field they mix with atoms and molecules of other elements, which then create the aurora borealis (a.k.a. the northern lights!).

Whether or not you completely understand the process of the aurora borealis, there is no doubt that it makes for an amazing view. For the best northern light viewing, plan a trip to Alaska, Canada, Norway, Finland, or Sweden. Winter is usually the best time to see them because there is less light in the sky and the air is crisp and clear. Once you have experienced the beauty of the northern lights, you will want to remember it forever. At Gift Works Plus, we know the best way to do that is to frame your photos of them. Better yet, create a collage of your photos with our multiple picture frames or collage frames, since you will definitely take more than one picture!
