Exit Glacier Aurora

Aurora borealis over Exit Glacier, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.

Seeing northern lights over Exit Glacier was a rare treat! Something I had always imagined, but never thought I would see for a couple reasons. First, because of our location relative to the Aurora oval – most shows are North or East of Seward – it is rare to see them to the West like you do here. Plus, the road to Exit Glacier is closed most of the Winter – so it took the perfect combination of conditions – a great show, clear skies and a open road.

Aurora borealis over Seward, Alaska.

This was last night at around 3:30 a.m. – that is my little home town of Seward at the base of the mountains. What an amazing night!

This is one of the photos that accompanies Janine’s latest article about the Seward Highway in Country Magazine! The link is too an excerpt. It is great to see her receive publication credit! This photo is actually an old Fuji Velvia slide dating back to the late 90’s – nice to see my early work still getting used.
