The One Mesmerizing Place In Vermont To See The Northern Lights

There are a few places to go for the best chances to see the northern lights, specifically within the Arctic Circle. But did you know that you can see the northern lights in Vermont? You sure can! We have two awesome videos and some incredible photos from two photographers who were able to capture this natural phenomenon on camera in none other than Malletts Bay in Colchester.

The thing about trying to see the northern lights in Vermont is that you never know when or if you'll catch them.

The best time to see this is between September and February. These lights, also known as the aurora borealis, are a natural phenomenon which is created at random due to particles colliding into each other, and only seen if the conditions are right.

And who would have thought they could be seen from Malletts Bay in Colchester?

We have a wonderful video showing photos of those beautiful lights dancing through the sky by Dan Russell taken right here in Vermont.

The series of photos in the following video was taken at Malletts Bay on Lake Champlain Tuesday, October 8th, 2013.

He lucked out as the sky was crystal clear that night.

As he sat on the beach, the aurora first started out as a green glow.

He snapped photos as it progressed until it suddenly shot into the sky above.

Check out his spectacular photos in this video:

Next to Tim was his friend and fellow Youtube user GNDxero. Using his Nikon D600 and Tokina 16-28 he set up the time-lapse for 8 second intervals, and took about 250 shots.

Check out his amazing time-lapse video of the stunning show!
