Northern Lights visible for a second night in a row in the Netherlands

Did you see it? Dutch residents were able to see the Northern Lights again last night!

All Dutch social media platforms are full of leuke fotos of the recent natural phenomenon. 

Many people travelled to the Dutch coast to see the Northern Lights, RTL Nieuws reports. 

Let’s go!

On the second day in a row, even more people have decided to drive to the sea to see the lights in person. 

One of the best spots was Zwarte Haan, a hamlet on the Wadden Sea, where a real traffic jam escalated on the road to the beach to catch a glimpse of the aurora. The Northern Lights were also visible from as far south as Zeeland.  One Belgian couple  drove two hours to see it, according to the NOS

“My girlfriend was in Lapland the other day, and there she saw the green northern lights. When we heard it could also be seen here, we got in the car. Here it’s red.” – said a tourist on the beach to NOS. 

Take a look at the last evening’s snaps!

Have you seen the Northern Lights in person? Do you have pictures? We would love to see it!

Mihály fell in love with (and in) Amsterdam, so he quit his NGO job in Budapest and moved to Amsterdam to become a journalist. His apartment is full of plants and books, two dogs, and a random mouse in the kitchen. You might find him in Vondelpark, where he spends most of his life throwing tennis balls for his vizslas and listening to podcasts. His nickname is Mex — ask him why!
