Anyone who has ever seen a decent display of Aurora knows that it explodes to fill up the whole sky, typically during a geomagnetic storm. When that happens colorful pillars and bright bands dance and wiggle all over to the point where you don't even know where to look… unfortunately our eyes don't have a 360 view so in this particular situation the best way to avoid missing the whole picture is to lie down on the ground and just gaze up.The most impressive of all are the one that happen just above your head, this particular type of light is called ‘Corona’. All the pillars seem to converge into the Zenith (the point right above your head) because of the 3-D perspective created by the globe effect of the Earth. Actually it would be more correct to say that the light seams to stream outwards from a central point, much like when you are flying through a spacial vortex. Those of you who watched Star Wars or even Stargate will know what I am referring to. For this reason people that have studied or watched the aurora a few decades (even centuries) ago thought the overhead aurora described a crown (hence the name Corona). A big thank you to everyone who took time to comment and take a look at my photo. Much appreciated!

Heraclitus believed that the universe is constantly changing and in a state of flux. He taught that everything is in a constant state of movement and evolution, including our thoughts, emotions, and physical surroundings. Now the photo is from a trip to Arctic Norway in winter .The E10 is a European Route from Luleå in Norrbotten, Sweden to Å in Lofoten, Norway. With much of the 850 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, and a passage through the Scandinavian mountain range and along the Norwegian coast, the road is one of the most scenic in the Nordic countries. A big thank you to everyone who took time to comment and take a look at my photo. Much appreciated!

Alaska is, obviously, an extraordinarily hostile environment. The weather is frigid, the roads are coated in ice, and the wildlife can be dangerous. Cell phone service is not available between Fairbanks and Deadhorse and, even if you could summon assistance, the nearest professional help would often be hours away. In this setting, even small mistakes can be extremely costly.The frigid temperatures of the far north will take a toll not only on you, but on your equipment. Also one of the best locations in the world for viewing the Northern lights particular north from Fairbanks where is absolutely totally darkness .A big thank you to everyone who took time to comment and take a look at my photo. Much appreciated!

Perhaps nowhere else combines the conveniences of the modern age with the freedom and adventure of living on the edge of a vast, unspoiled wilderness l .The sheer wildness of Alaska is unmatched by any state, leaving most visitors to this land no less than awestruck. This image is two exposures blended together to be able to get some definition in the foreground and low noise while maintaining the sky and aurora F13 and 30 sec for the foreground in iso 2000 , and 2.8f and 10 seconds with iso 1600 for the sky

Pulsating or flickering auroras typically follow after a major substorm. They might be caused by electrons bouncing back and forth from pole to pole. Neat to watch but tough to shoot except on video. A substorm is a usually brief outburst or brightening and increase in motion that might last only a few minutes before subsiding. And after it subsides the aurora can sometimes turn into a pulsating form. Never gets tired of seeing the northern lights. I can understand why people travel around the world to see them. After years of photographing this natural phenomenon I still find it beautiful and fascinating every time.

Namafjall Hverir geothermal area North Iceland is one of the most intriguing places I’ve ever visited. We saw it right from the roadside of the Ring Road, the main highway of Iceland: uneven ground, riddled with fissures across the red rock. A robust mountain watched over the squat fumaroles, venting steam up into the air. Gaping gray holes bubbled and gurgled hot mud endlessly. At a depth of 1000 meters, the temperature is above 200°C. The water that flows below the surface is quickly heated and comes back to the surface transformed into steam.
The fumarole gas contains hydrogen sulfide that causes that characteristic smell of rotten eggs that makes these places so much fun to explore. When you stand on the viewing platform, overlooking the barren land, you will soon understand why NASA used this place as a training center for their astronauts.

Tempelfjorden is a fjord branch at the inner end of Sassenfjorden, a part of Isfjorden at Spitsbergen. It is located between Sabine Land and Bünsow Land.A fjord steeped in history and overlooked by the Temple mountains. We drive between high mountains and through wide valleys and end up at the old trappers cabin belonging to Hilmar Nøis, or the king of Sassen as he was called.

Beautiful area to visit just an hour drive from El Calafate, There are many dry trees that do not roten due to the cold and give you some beautiful photos with the mountains and glaciers in the background. There are usually many horses in the area

At 78 degrees north, Longyearbyen is the world’s northernmost permanently inhabited community. Rather than some remote outpost, the town of just over 2,000 people is surprisingly normal, with a supermarket, bars, church, cinema, school, and even a municipal swimming pool. Longyearbyen is the world's most northern easily accessible settlement, with Svalbard Airport just outside town offering regular flights to and from Tromsø and Oslo, Norway. The airport served 120,000 passengers in 2007.

Alaska is one of the best places on earth to see the northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis – colorful bands of light that dance in the dark night sky. Travelers from all over the world come to Alaska to see this stunning display and take advantage of other winter experiences like snowmobiling, dog mushing, skiing, festivals, and sporting events. Fairbanks is one of the best places to view the northern lights in Alaska due to its location, hours of darkness in winter, auroral activity, and the amount of tours, activities, and accommodations dedicated to northern lights viewing.

Svalbard (Spitsbergen) is a magical place. The solitude and presence of nature one feel up there is amazing. A network of these hunting cabins were - and are still - used by trappers when covering the vast uninhabited areas of Svalbard. The hunters and trappers organized themselves, with main cabins known as base stations. In addition, most had several small huts that served as secondary stations. These were set up one or more day’s march from the base station. The landscape became a loose network of huts and trapping equipment, where paths or ski tracks formed fragile but tangible connections.

Feel your blood rushing and hear the motors rev as you zoom across the frozen landscape of Svalbard. This is an arctic adventure to remember!
