Beautiful Northern Lights in Estonia

Some stunning images of northern lights were captured in Estonia over the weekend. The spectacular light display was seen in Karivärava, a village located in Rakvere Parish.  These photos were taken by Kairo Kiitsak.

Aurora borealis is an atmospheric phenomenon that has captivated people for millennia. It occurs when energised particles from the sun slam into Earth's upper atmosphere at speeds of up to 72 million kph. Thankfully earth's magnetic field protects us from the barrage.
