Aurora Borealis gleams over mountain peaks

Radiating night sky – Intense rays of light radiate through the night sky over the Smith Creek Dome and Midnight Dome Peaks just outside the tiny town of Wiseman, Alaska. The auroral rays line up along the earth’s magnetic field, and can be several hundreds of miles long. Most auroras occur in a band known as the auroral zone but can expand to lower latitudes during geomagnetic storms
