This is probably the most memorable view from my most recent, Baffin Island Photo Adventure. To me the combination of these remarkable mountain peaks surrounding the immense valley is an essence of the Canadian Arctic. I have seen and photographed this particular place in many different conditions, but from the moment when I saw it for the first time I have been trying to imagine how it would look like with aurora.
But it wasn’t until this year when all necessary elements came together. That night aurora started its dance early, but its full blast happened many hours later. It was well after midnight when the sky exploded and awaken the landscape invigorating my senses. This kick of “green energy” over the Mt.Thor kept me in awe for a while.
Out of many aurora shots that I took that night, this single shot captured all elements I could wish for.
