There is nothing quite like seeing the aurora borealis while on holiday and now one company is offering tailor made trips to Norway, Iceland, Finland and Sweden. With celebrities such as Joanna Lumley having been in search of the breathtaking aurora borealis in recent years when she filmed a documentary for the BBC, it is no wonder that this company has decided to respond to the demand of people wanting to see the lights in person. Tour operator, Discover the World, offers northern lights holidays in each of these northern countries. Although it will admit that the best time to go on northern lights holidays is between the months of September and March on a night with no clouds in the sky. As well as watching the northern lights, holidaymakers have the chance of staying in unique accommodation such as the Ice hotel Sweden or cosy lodges in the middle of the Norwegian countryside. The company also offers a variety of activities for guests to take part in including riding on a husky sleigh through the Nordic forests or horse riding. Discover the World offers a range of different holidays to countries in the Northern hemisphere from short breaks to activity holidays such as horse riding expeditions. A range of needs can be catered for simply by getting in touch with the company. Although these days going to see the northern lights is something of a fascinating treat, in the middle ages many people used to believe the green and red lights in the sky at night were a sign from the gods. The lights can be seen from many parts of the world, however they are more commonly viewed at both the northern and southern poles. This is due to the strong magnetic fields and the more common long periods of darkness.
