On a trip to the Polarlightcenter in Laukvik, Lofoten Islands, Norway, I took this picture of an aurora, which seems to help in drying codfish.

After a two weeks hunting trip for auroras in northern Norway, I was eventually lucky enough with the the weather to be able to take crystal sharp photographs in a very remote location in the Lyngen Alps mountains (Storfjord community, Troms county). I was blessed with an absolute dark sky (new moon, no light pollution and no clouds nor haze at all) and a quite impressive auroral display. The beautifull landscape with the Steindalen glacier in the field of view and the perfect weather conditions made that night worth the trip from Paris, France.

Some nice aurora while the moon sets in the ocean.

A beautiful night for watching the auroras, especially with the crescent moon low on the horizon! We took a thermos of hot chocolate and watched from the shelter of the (roofless) hut.

We got some nice activity tonight and the moon was up too. The aurora did a strange dance around the moon, it was like it knew the moon was there. I think you can spot a meteor in the aurora, or maybe it's just a satellite?
