Looking skyward into the aurora, it's interesting to see what patterns emerge as the electricity morphs into different shapes and colors.
More Eagle Summit Aurora
There is nothing quite like witnessing the aurora borealis under crystal clear skies near the Arctic Circle, where the stars are big and bright. Here's one of my favorites from last Tuesday night/Wednesday morning at Eagle Summit, Alaska. There was no light pollution whatsoever, and not one vehicle passed by while we were out there.
More from Eagle Summit...
Here are a couple more photos from the most intense portion of the last night's display. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the activity was moderate (Kp=3), but being so close to the Arctic Circle, it still made for an excellent show. Eagle Summit was a great location - no light pollution whatsoever!
Eagle Summit Auroras
Just got in from an all-night aurora chasing session on Eagle Summit - just over 100 miles north of Fairbanks. We had a nice show, more photos to follow, now it's time for sleep...
