Explanation:
Raise your arms if you see an aurora.
With those instructions, two nights went by with, well, clouds -- mostly.
On the third night of returning to same peaks, though, the sky not only cleared up
but lit up with a
spectacular auroral display.
Arms went high in the air, patience and experience paid off,
and the amazing
featured image was captured.
The setting is a summit of the
Austnesfjorden
fjord close to the town of
Svolvear on the
Lofoten islands in northern Norway.
The time was early March.
Our Sun has been producing an abundance of
picturesque aurora of late as it is near the time of its
maximum
surface activity in its
11-year magnetic cycle.
