Last winter, I went to the coldest place I have ever been. My parents and I went to the north pole to see one of nature's most awesome spectacles, Aurora. Because Auroras are most commonly visible at high latitudes, we went to Lapland which the northern city of  Finland to wait for this amazing view.  To see the Auroras, it has to be a very clear sky. Unfortunately, we had a bad cloudy day when we got there. But thankfully, next day was a sunny day, you can see thousands of stars shine in the night sky. We all stayed up late waiting and hoping that we can see it. It just depends on luck, the only thing you can do is keep your finger crossed. Suddenly,  I saw a glow over the peak of the tree,  it took on a slightly blue, slowly the skies began to move like a sheet in the wind. It is the most incredible thing I ever saw in my life.
