Reverse description The reverse features a view of the aurora borealis (also known as the northern lights) in the night sky above the Canadian wilderness. While a selective application of colour re-creates the ethereal green, pink and purple hues that form one of nature’s most breathtaking phenomena, the embedded blacklight technology amplifies those colours when activated by the flashlight. For a more immersive 360-degree perspective, a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and boreal forest—the home of the Great Grey Owl (Strix nebulosa)—is engraved around the edge, resulting in a more realistic night scene when viewed under the blacklight flashlight, with the towering treetops appearing as imposing shapes that rise up toward the colourful sky.
