About This Photograph

“Frost Fire - Portrait”

“…The temperature plummeted in the wee hours of the morning lending clarity to the sky that rarely exists. Two weeks of intense cold and ice fog had left the river delta blanketed with a heavy thick crystalline frost. Massive rare red auroral displays had begun dancing across the heavens since sunset, ebbing back and forth like a celestial tide encompassing the earth. Upon returning once again to Alaska’s skies, the great aurora magically re-appeared above the southern horizon and erupted in brilliant red, flaming up above the Chugach Mountains. The fantastic scene graced the stars for only a few short minutes, before pushing over the horizon and disappearing again equatorward to surprise skywatchers in the southern reaches of the northern hemisphere. This once-in-a-lifetime display lasted 36 hours, allowing for a full rotation of darkness around the globe, so the lucky few who were awake could witness its awe-inspiring grandeur…”
