Aurora Rings in the New Year
An active vivid aurora occurred over Juneau a few days after the new year. I was working a midnight shift at the NWS office. A coworker went outside to take a weather observation, and then came back inside stating that the northern lights were on display. I subsequently spent the rest of the night going outdoors to photograph the aurora in between updates to the local weather forecast. The aurora continued after my shift was over, so I headed out to Mendenhall Glacier and continued photography until the sun started to brighten the sky in the southern horizon. A full moon added further drama to the surrounding landscape.
