The Northern Lights as an Introduction to the Universe

The University of Tromsø is located at 70° northern latitude. It is planned for 3,000 students and was opened in 1972. Research interests in physics are centered on the physics related to the upper atmosphere. The region is coastal and mountainous, and is sparsely inhabited. People in the region are...
