Apod 2.3



In Norway's Austnesfjorden fjord, close to the town of Svolvear on the Lofoten islands, whitenesses' had the grand opportunity to observe a spectacular light show. Auroras, as I have previously mentioned in other posts, are formed when emissions from the sun interact with the earth's atmosphere. These images were taken in early March, as our sun is approaching its maximum surface activity in its 11-year magnetic cycle. Due to this there has been an unusual abundance of picturesque auroras.
