The Northern Lights - most popular of the 3 natural phenomena in Scandinavia - are now on two beautiful new stamps celebrating the International Polar Year. The International Polar Year 2007-2008 is highlighted on this souvenir sheet, celebrating when scientists around the world will conduct research and field observations to increase understanding of natural phenomena, which Scandinavia is especially popular for. Speaking of which, the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) will only be visible for a few more weeks!

The new sheet features a marvelous photograph of the aurora borealis. The second is an equally eye-catching photograph of the aurora australis. The souvenir sheet will only be available online. You can take a look at them at www.usps.com Shop
