Photograph by @paulnicklen taken while on assignment for @natgeo in Canada’s Yukon Territory // That moment when the clouds part and a solar storm reaches Earth, causing billions of electrons and protons to collide, igniting the various gases around them. I have been watching the aurora since I was five years old when we moved to Baffin Island and it is just as beautiful each and every time. Definitely something that has to be experienced. #gratitude #beauty #nature #naturelovers #tbt #yukon #aurora
