Words cannot begin to describe my envy for the person standing atop a mountian and getting an up close and personal look at an aurora. To see an aurora in person is on my personal bucket list, and whoever this person is got an experinec of a lifetime. The person in is northen Norway, on the summit of the Austnesfjorden fjord close to the town of Svolvear on the Lofoten island. Due to the sun reaching its maximum surface activity of its 11 year magnetic cycle, auroras like this one have not been a rarity.
