Take a look at the spectacular Southern Lights, known as the Aurora Australis, seen from New Zealand.

The Aurora Australis is the result of particles in the solar winds colliding with gases in the Earth's atmosphere, captured by the planet's magnetic field.

It is more accessible in the southern end terrain of New Zealand.

The particles converge and become visible in dazzling light shows, with ribbons of green, red, and pink, close to the Earth's poles.
