This was the most intense aurora I’ve ever seen. With a jaw-dropping corona above, dancing curtains, rotating vortices and lightning-like events extending all the way to each horizon, nearly every square inch of the sky – for a full 360 degrees – was filled with color. This was taken about 150 miles north of the arctic circle, during a geomagnetic storm that registered a Kp=6. Moments like this quickly make up for weeks in the unbearable cold.
For those interested, I've written an article on photographing the aurora HERE
Immacolata Giordano, pasqualecapotosto, Chínmay, .dash and blast., and 378 other people added this photo to their favorites.
