Photo by @babaktafreshi // At 69ºN latitude, well inside the Arctic Circle, this fjord near Tromsø, Norway, is an incredible spot from which to view the northern lights. When I hiked down to the shore on this crystal clear March night, the aurora was completely absent, but after a few hours of patience in the cold, this impressive, earlike swirl suddenly formed near midnight. My heart was beating like a drum. It was hard to take my eyes off of the scene and concentrate on the camera. Thanks to the moonlight, the five-second exposure was long enough to reveal the landscape but not so long that it diffused the fast-moving aurora pattern. The lights occur when electrically charged particles interact with gases in the upper atmosphere. They are drawn by Earth's magnetic field to the polar regions. // When you dare to explore the unfamiliar, you feel more alive. Choose adventure and discover the thrill of getting outside this winter with @5gum.
