River in the Sky

While in northern Norway, we experienced the northern lights almost every night the sky was clear.

On this occasion, a small group of us climbed to the top of Stussnesfjellet, hoping for a spectacular view. Sadly, the aurora disappeared for most of our time up there, teasing us with just a few glimmers of green above the fjords.

On the trail back down, and without warning, the sky above us lit up from horizon to horizon, a blazing green river of dancing light. From here there was no other view, just the aurora above. But wow, what a sky!

We’re blessed with extraordinary solar activity right now, and images of the Merry Dancers, the Fyrialjus, and the Tahu-nui-a-rangi are appearing from all over the world.

Friends in both Ireland and Australia are witnessing the Aurora Borealis and the Aurora Australis from places where they’re rarely seen. I’m so glad that so many of us are able to experience this beautiful sight without having to travel so far.
