Are you a fan of the Northern Lights? We searched throughout YouTube to find the ten best videos of the Northern Lights.

1. Northern Lights time lapse video.

This sums up the beauty of the lights in just over a minute, with some extraordinary scenes. We particularly love to see the sky gradually getting darker as the lights swirl. Seeing stars glitter on top of the lights is delightful!

2. Magical Northern Lights

The beauty of this clip is that it captures the movement and different shapes in the lights. For all those conspiracy theorists out there, watch closely at 0.20 seconds- we can’t explain those oval shapes flying through the air, either!

3. Coca-Cola does Northern Lights

Here’s a great animation of the Northern Lights in a 1993 Coca-cola advert. We particularly enjoy the bears taking a swig under the lights all at the same time. How refreshing!

4. Scientific Explanation of the Northern Lights

Yes, they are beautiful, but how are Northern Lights created, and why? For all those who may be researching the Northern Lights phenomena , we think this video provides a great explanation:

5. Northern Lights: the view from space!

This clip was shot by the astronaut Don Petit, and is actually a selection of images he captured during his mission to the International Space Station. These images have been merged together to create a very inspiring clip:

6. BBC 4’s The Sky at Night experience Northern Lights

Sky at Night presenter Dr Chris Lintott travels to a radar facility just outside of Tromso in the hope he will catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights, and he does!

7. Kjetil Skogli- Northern Lights photographer and film maker

Not only are the pictures and video within this clip beautiful, we applaud Kjetil for using the perfect snippet of music to accompany his film- truly out of this world.

8. Tromso: the best place to see the Northern Lights?

This clip shows a selection of Northern Light shows from the Tromso area. Imagine living here!

9. What’s it like to experience the Northern Lights?

Hurtigruten offer cruises to Norway to see the Northern Lights, and we think this video about the cruise sums up what it’s like to explore Norway and see the lights perfectly.

10. Joanna Lumley loves the Northern Lights

You may have seen our previous post on the Joanna Lumley documentary, but we had to give special mention to this YouTuber who has created a fantastic video. Watch below for the best bits of the documentary edited down and put against Grieg’s Solveig’s Song (Peer Gynt)
