Get ready for some exciting times as I travel to Churchill, Canada to study Climate Change!Northern Lights performing their show above an Inukshuk in the town of Churchill, Manitoba in Canada. Three rows of lights seem to be dancing and swaying across the sky amongst the stars with a colorful display that shoots out behind an Inukshuk in the town of Churchill, Manitoba in Canada

Can you please post a link to find more info on the Northern Lights?
The Northern Lights are created when two forces, the solar wind and the Earth's magnetic field meet up with each other and begin to mingle. The solar wind particles hitting the gases of the Earth's atmosphere is what makes these lights glow in the night sky and produces a show to remember.
