Aurora Australis Over Lake Wakatipu


Hello...

Today I got another postcard from New Zealand with Aurora Australis on it.

The Aurora Australis, also known as the Southern Lights, is a natural light display that occurs in the southern hemisphere. This phenomenon is caused by the interaction between charged particles from the sun and the Earth's magnetic field. When these particles collide with gas particles in the Earth's atmosphere, they produce a beautiful display of light in various colors, including green, pink, and purple.

If you happen to be at Lake Wakatipu in Glenorchy Queenstown, you may be lucky enough to witness the Aurora Australis. This stunning display can be seen from many locations in the southern hemisphere, but Glenorchy Queenstown is particularly special due to its clear skies and low light pollution.

To increase the chances of seeing the Aurora Australis, it's best to visit during the winter months when the nights are longer and darker. It's also important to check the weather forecast and aurora activity before we go, as this will give you the best chance of seeing this amazing natural wonder.


Thank you Gerry for sending me this beautiful card from Wellington, NZ. Happy new year too for you.

    It's called Aurora Australis but it comes from New Zealand. The beauty of this natural phenomenon is unique. It's really cool to see the beauty of the Aurora Australis which can be seen during winter.
