Magenta Aurora Over Alaska Base in Winter Night in under the clearest stretch of sky in Alaska

Magenta Aurora Over Alaska Base in Winter Night

by Patrick Buckner

A deep magenta ribbon of the aurora australis arches across the inky black sky above a cluster of low-slung Antarctic-style structures nestled in an Alaskan valley. Silvery winter light reflects off the snow-covered ground, illuminating a thin veil of ground mist that rests on the permafrost. The scene is framed by the dark silhouette of a wooden observation deck railing in the foreground, creating a window into the celestial display. The buildings, painted in high-visibility orange and white, stand stark against the white landscape. Shadows stretch long and sharp across the undulating snowdrifts. The magenta glow of the lights contrasts with the cold blue tones of the shadowed snow. One beam of artificial light cuts through the mist near the central doorway.
