The back of the Norwegian 200 NOK[?] note shows a geographic map of the north polar regions including Scandinavia on the right and northern Canada on the bottom. A ring encircling the magnetic dip pole (located near Resolute, Canada) symbolizes the location of auroral phenomena including the satellite-determined statistical location of Kristian Birkeland currents. Kristian Birkeland's original depiction of field-aligned currents published in 1908 is shown in the lower right corner.
