Postcard from Finland!
Today I got a great postcard from Finland! The postcard shows the Northern Lights as seen from one of the country's wintry forests. The Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis, are a natural display of lights typically seen from the extreme northern or southern latitudes. They are caused by the entrances of charged particles into the atmosphere, which then react to emit these lights. Higher altitudes produce red auroras but green auroras are more common throughout the region. The card is an official Postcrossing card, FI-2209774. Thanks Minna!

Postcard from Iceland!
Today I got a beautiful panoramic postcard from Iceland! The card shows a beautiful night view of the northern lights over Breiðamerkurjökull. Breiðamerkurjökull is an outlet glacier of Vatnajökull, the largest Icelandic glacier. The card shows Jökulsárlón, a glacial lake at the end of Breiðamerkurjökull. It became a lake because the of the rapid receding of the glacier at the edge of the Atlantic ocean. The view is otherworldly! Thanks Rebekka!
