Adventure Travel Photo of the Day - www.letsbewild.com - Symphony of Lights: Northern Lights over Alaska's Atigun Pass - Tom Charoensinphon

Symphony of Lights, Atigun Pass, Alaska


Photograph by Tom Charoensinphon

  

I was at Alaska’s Atigun Pass, where the Dalton Highway crosses the Continental Divide at mile marker 244 shooting the Northern Lights. The temperature was darn cold (-53C) Yes, it was -53C!

I still dont know how I survived a three hour wait to shoot the aurora. After the long wait, the aurora finally danced!

    Gasp! This makes me want to pull an “Into the Wild” just to be in Alaska, but I’d bring a few friends along to share in the experience.

    Imagine seeing this without any idea of what causes it. ‘Awe’ for sure and then comes religion :-) Great catch and more than worth that wait.

    Thanks.
