The elusive northern lights have suddenly become easier to see in southern parts of Canada's prairies thanks to what experts are saying is an increase in solar activity.

TORONTO -- The elusive northern lights have suddenly become easier to see in southern parts of Canada's Prairies thanks to what experts are saying is an increase in solar activity.

Scott Young, a planetarium astronomer at the Manitoba Museum, told CTV National News that the northern lights are currently more active than they have been in the last decade. Photographers in Winnipeg started to notice the change over the past two months, being able to capture stunning photos of the lights just outside city limits.

"It's an incredible experience to see them dancing overhead or even on the horizon and seeing these pillars going up and being able to share that with other people," Anderson said.
