Northern Lights provide spectacular show over the Netherlands
The Northern Lights, an atmospheric phenomenon rarely seen in the Netherlands, were visible over large parts of the country on Sunday night.
Sightings were recorded in Drenthe, Groningen, Gelderland and Friesland as well as the Wadden Islands.
The Northern Lights, or the aurora borealis which are created when energized particles from the sun slam into the Earth’s upper atmosphere at extremely high speeds. The Earth’s magnetic field redirects them to the North and South Pole, creating the waves of coloured light.
