The northern lights are an awesome natural phenomenon and most visible from October to April. You needn't go to the Nordic countries close to the Arctic Circle. Here are places that offer you this amazing night show as well.
Iceland
Iceland provides some of the best opportunities to witness the northern lights. They are typically visible from September to April, coinciding (同时发生) with dark, clear nights, though there is a chance that you may spot them in early spring. The peak (高峰) viewing season, however, is from November to early March, when the nights are the longest.
Yukon Territory, Canada
This remote area of Canada has many spots to view the northern lights shining in the night sky. One of the best places to view the lights and learn about how the northern lights came into being as well as the folk stories about this gift from Mother Nature is the Northern Lights Space and Science Centre in Watson Lake.
Fairbanks, Alaska
The city lies directly beneath a band of northern lights activity, so it is a perfect spot to view the phenomenon. The shining lights are most frequently seen between 11 pm and 2 am, so don't forget to set your alarm clock. You can enjoy a stay in a hot springs resort (度假胜地) and enjoy the show while taking a relaxing bath.

One day a man saw an old lady, standing on the side of the road, but even in the poor light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her car and got out.
Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He said,"I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is BryanAnderson."
Well, all she had was a flat tire(爆胎), but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan checked under the car looking for a tool. Soon he was able to change the tire. As he was tightening up the lug nuts(螺帽), she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid. The lady asked how much she should pay him. Any amount would have been all right with her. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He told her, "If you really wanted to pay me back, next time you see someone in need, give them a hand."It had been a cold and cheerless day, but he felt good as he headed for home.
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small café. She went in to grab a bite to eat. It was a dirty-looking restaurant. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant(怀孕的), but she had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase.

The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to dry her wet hair.
