The Northern Lights Illuminate Skies Across Canada (Photos)

Last night, the Aurora Borealis showed us her true colours across Canada.

A geomagnetic storm allowed for Vancouverites to catch a [small] glimpse of the gorgeous greens and blues of the Northern Lights, which typically isn’t visible in our neck of the woods.

But, if you ventured outside of the city, we’re sure you were in for a visual treat – especially our friends in the North!

We scoured Instagram and picked the prettiest photos/videos you shared from around British Columbia. Enjoy the spectacle of lights below!

Hope everyone smoked under this beauty last night. #northernlights #rossgoldglass #rossgold #rossrebagliati #cannathlete #topshelflife #vancouver

Can he shoot a timelapse? Does he know what he is doing? Will he cease talking in third person immediately? Tune in probably a week or so when I get to editing.
