Breathtaking shots! You're lucky to be where you can enjoy the show in person. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful shots. I saw it once 45 years ago and do not remember it that spectacular. :thumbup: :thumbup:

I think this would be the first most reason to move to Alaska! I, too, would like to see more. Great shooting!

Really great shots, thanks for posting. I am also too far south to see this phenomenon so we have to depend on the generosity of those of you in the higher latitudes. Please post more.

OH, WOW! I am just amazed and in awe. Would love to see these. Would the Aurora seen in Alaska be any different than seen, say, in Iceland or Norway?

I believe it's pretty much the same regardless of the area. It might be different with the South Pole version, but I don't know.

Aurora is the same at both poles
