There is no way to describe last night's northern lights show as anything besides "Otherworldly". For about a year, I've been wanting to do a midnight hike up to this glacier during an aurora event. However, it couldn't be in the dead of winter because I wanted a water reflection off of the glacial lake instead of an ice reflection. Once the lake melted this year, however, we have had nothing but rain and it has been impossible to get any aurora action.
When I knew there would be a storm last night, I grabbed a few friends and we headed up to the glacier. From sunset until sunrise, the lights danced horizon to horizon. It never got fully dark, which did minimize some of the lights displays. However, it worked to my advantage because the little touch of sunshine allowed the glacier to be illuminated enough to provide a deeper photo. I could not have asked for my "dream details" to come together in a better way for the night of shooting.
