Marja-Terttu Karlsson, who resides in Pajala, Swedish
Lapland, did not realize how lucky she had been when she went out to photograph
the northern lights. Only when she uploaded the images to her computer, did she
recognize the familiar shape that appeared right before her eyes. Northern
lights are common in the arctic region of the northern hemisphere and are
caused by the solar wind colliding with the atmosphere. Northern lights have
been getting more common, caused by increased solar activity.
