Breathless

Alaska Aurora Photography

At below-zero temperatures, a once-in-a-lifetime red aurora illuminates the entire river delta with rich maroon light, dancing above the western Chugach as the hoarfrost-encrusted landscape glows in response. The word breathless captures both the temperature outside and the involuntary response to seeing something this rare and beautiful.

The aurora shimmered from dusk to dawn, leaving one awestruck and breathless from the humbling experience of it all…”
