The Northern Lights are actually caused by electrons from solar winds. They are attracted to the poles by the magnetic fields found there. They mix with gases in the atmosphere, causing the gases to glow. Solar flares can also cause the Northern Lights to appear.

The name "Aurora Borealis", another title for the Northern Lights, come from two ancient names. Aurora is the Roman god of the dawn; Boreas is the Greek name for the north wind.

The Northern Lights Oval is the area which provides the greatest possibility of seeing the Aurora Borealis. This area includes Alaska, parts of Canada, Norway, Greenland, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. The Northern Lights can appear any time, but you’re most likely to see them between March and April and September and October– chilly months in the far north.

The meridian column on Fuglenes in Hammerfest is a modest monument to one of the biggest scientific tasks in the world: that of measuring the planet itself. It marks the start of a 2820 km arc that ends in the Black Sea.

Hammerfest is the northernmost town in the world and at that time the most northerly place in the world that scientists could reasonably travel to - and it marks the north end of the arc. It was here that Meridian Column was erected in 1854.

 In 2005, 34 of the triangulation points – the ones that are distinguished by a landmark – became protected and included as cultural memorials on the UNESCO world heritage list. This makes it the longest inscription on the WHS.
