Residents of Oslo and Bergen were treated to a rare and stunning display of the northern lights last night.

The aurora borealis was visible in areas like Åsane in Bergen and even over the skies of Oslo, creating a magical atmosphere.

Meteorologist Ole Henrik Botvar from the Meteorological Institute encouraged people to step outside and enjoy the spectacle while it lasted.

Clear skies in both cities provided the perfect conditions for viewing the phenomenon.

This rare sighting brought excitement and awe to those lucky enough to witness it.
