Description

With the aurora activity as high as it was on Thursday the aurora did not wait for the sky to get dark. The sun was only around -9.3 degrees below the horizon when this photo was taken. About 15 minutes earlier there was a rocket launched from Kiruna, Sweden to study the aurora (photo revision B). While it was an interesting event, it was a little disappointing because the blue clouds were mixed with the blue sky. The darkness arrives so late now.

The season is ending here at 69 degrees north in 3 weeks and that also happens to be when I move away from here to a town in Greenland. These 10 months have gone quickly here, but have been full of adventures.
