I live in a very tiny village in a remote area north of the Arctic Circle. Sometimes we see these triangles of light floating in the sky. Do you see them where you are? What are they?

are you in North America, Europe or Asia? Fascinating to hear from someone way up there.
I would think that if you are in North American Arctic you would see all kinds of phenomena that we don't see, because you are so near the magnetic pole.
I have never heard of triangular lights, but then the Arctic areas experience stratospheric ice clouds which could easily distort lights coming through them.
How long do these lights last? Please add to your question - you can do that. I would really like more information.
Iridium satellites reflect a very bright light for just a few seconds, and I have seen one where it actually shone through thin cloud. I would suspect what you are seeing is one of these - there are over 60 in orbit, but each is only visible for a few seconds from any one location.
More info please.

Might be the Aurora Borealis or northern lights but usually not triangular.
