Description

The last night sky photo of the year 2023 captured from the town of Uummannaq in North Greenland. I took 30 minutes worth of star trails on the new year's eve while many locals were shooting fireworks nearby which of course ruined many of my frames. The timing for a star trail project in that sense wasn't the best, but since there's no snow on the frozen lake it has some interesting cracks and bubbles that look great and all it takes is one snowy day before its gone. 

The 1175m high heart-shaped mountain is in the direction of north from the towns point of view making it difficult to photograph with the aurora as they rarely reach that part of the sky here, but I have plenty of time to make that happen.
