The aurora borealis is made by foxes, which is the story in Finnish and Lapland folklore. Arctic foxes running across snow leaves sparkles, their bushy tails whipping up snow towards the sky, and turning the flakes into colourful fiery glitter, creating the northern lights, aurora borealis. This is called revontulet, or "fox fires". In Finnish legends, a Firefox is a supernatural creature that looks like a dark fox in the daytime but whose tail glows at night.
