The world is a fascinating place. Thankfully, some smart people all over the world have thought to install webcams that stream live the wonders of our natural world, busy city streets, and more, just for our viewing pleasure.
Sure, viewing the streets of Times Square or the Northern Lights on your computer screen are incomparable to the real thing, but while you’re saving up for that big trip, why not enjoy a real-time and free preview of their beauty to give you some motivation? If you’re up and bored during the wee hours of the morning, there’s always something exciting going on in another part of the world. From cat and dog playrooms to sunsets over the beach, these 24-hour live video feeds are lovely company for your every mood.

3. Northern Lights
Ah, the Northern Lights. One of the most spectacular beauties of nature, and one of the most elusive sights to catch in real life, even if you have the chance to travel so far. That’s why we’re grateful for this alternative – a real-time video feed of the Northern Lights shot in HD by Canadian Space Agency’s AuroraMAX cam, that allows us to see the illuminating display from wherever we are! It’s quite uneventful right now in the summer, but bookmark the page and return to it during the autumn and winter to see the colourful lights dance. You can also follow the AuroraMAX Twitter account for updates on when the Northern Lights will be visible.
