This photograph features a stunning aurora over the summit of the Austnesfjorden fjord in Northern Norway. This was taken earlier in the year, in early March, on a beautiful clear night. The high amounts of aurorae recently is due to the increased amount of solar surface activity during its 11 year magnetic cycle.
