Aurora Borealis from Finland




The Nothern Lights flame in the frost nights on the northern hemisphere and they are visible on roughly 200 nights a year in Finnish Lapland. The traditional ways to go Aurora spotting are snowshoeing, cross-country skiing or snowmobile and sled dog touring. Issued in 2009 by Finnish Post, the stamps are self-adhesive and they feature views of the northern lights as well an aurora borealis crown. The stamps also bear map coordinates indicating the location at which they were shot.
