Seeing the Northern Lights dance over the snow and ice transports one to another world...I can't get these images out of my head...and that's a good thing

Amazing photos, Eric! Combining the snow foreground with the starry sky and Northern Lights makes a wonderful composition!

Great exposure. Foreground is good, lights are bright and the stars are still points and not streaks.

Possibly the x-files theme music fits the sky show:

Thanks Jim...and yes the experience seeing it live is quite amazing....lots of "wows" from my son and me over about 3-4 hours.

Thanks Louie...it is a spectacle that I am really happy I've now gotten to see...never realized just how magical it was.

Thanks Birdie, yes in person it is quite special....and unlike most of my nature photography where I spend lots of time looking through a viewfinder, the long exposures actually give one much more time to really appreciate the spectacle.

Thanks Don...got lucky with the weather...the clear skies and the fact the wind died down considerably made it possible to get crisper images.

Thanks Jim...I can only tell you this is in Iceland....the names are too hard to remember....maybe the only time I wish I had GPS in my camera.

Thanks and oddly it is actually quite easy to get decent shots....the starting point would be a 30s shutter speed, f4, ISO 1600....I used a 16-35mm lens and almost always had it all the way at the wide end as the whole sky was illuminated....a tripod obviously is a must...found it funny that people tried to take flash photos of it!

Super shots Eric. I was fortunate to see them up in Norway above the arctic circle during 84' naval exercises, but it was prior to my photo era. They are a cool phenomenon.

Thanks Herb...it is surely something to see in person...the photos are fun but don't do justice to the experience.

Thanks Kirk...I have to thank my son who pushed me to go there with him...not being a cold weather person I was less than enthused but after seeing this I can't imagine having not gone.

Thanks Brian...I see how one can get addicted...at least it's not 16 hours away like my Africa addiction!
