The Aurora

submitted by Zifnab

1 decade 3 years 11 months 4 weeks ago

From Vimeo: I spent a week capturing one of the biggest aurora borealis shows in recent years.

Shot in and around Kirkenes and Pas National Park bordering Russia, at 70 degree north and 30 degrees east. Temperatures around -25 Celsius. Good fun.

*spacey

This is the absolute best footage I have ever seen of aurora. From this news article (in norwegian): This video is composed of 22 000 images, which the photographer Terje Sørgjerd gathered in the beginning of march this year using 40 kilograms of equipment, after waiting 4 years for the right opportunity (a major solar storm).

*quality

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Ornthoron.

*spacy

Adding video to channels (Spacy) - requested by silvercord.

Beautiful! Can someone add a tag for Norway? The video was shot around Kirkenes Norway, up near the North Cape.

'9 March came the warning of one of the strongest storms in years. Sørgjerd bought a ticket to northern Norway and spent seven nights frozen out at Kirkenes and the Russian border..' [via Google translate]

This article is about the March 9 solar flare that triggered the auroras.

Damn Nature, you pretty!

Fuckin' auroras, how do they work?

PEOPLE OF EARTH

PLEASE STOP USING DEAD CAN DANCE MUSIC FOR VIDEOS.

Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?
Yes.
May I see it?
No.
