北極之旅：探索一個充滿驚喜的世界。
One of the most impressive attractions – and maybe the most difficult to see – is the Northern Lights, one of the seven natural wonders of the world. They are naturally occurring lights that glow stunning (令人震驚的) green and light up the horizon (地平線). Sometimes, they appear in different colors or as waves that dance across the sky.
The best places to view the Northern Lights are in the 「auroral (極光的) zone」. Northern Norway, Sweden’s Abisko National Park, Iceland, US』 Alaska or the Canadian Yukon are generally the best spots, according to Space.com. Charles Deehr, an aurora forecaster (預報員) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks』 Geophysical Institute, recommended planning a trip between winter and spring, ideally when there is a new moon.
Even though the Arctic is a popular tourist destination, don’t forget that people live there too.
It is recommended that visitors go with tour groups that are 「respectful of Arctic residents (居民) and their culture」, said Rosa. 「Too many people can overwhelm (壓垮) small villages. Finding tour groups that work with local communities is important.」
