A low arc of aurora late in the voyage south on March 4, 2019, our last sighting for the cruise, after we crossed the Arctic Circle. A single vertical ray appeared briefly here. A single exposure at ISO 10000 due to the large motion of the ship. The smoke from the ship is at left, illuminated by the funnel lights that were not turned off this night.
A low arc of aurora late in the voyage south on March 4, 2019, our last sighting for the cruise, after we crossed the Arctic Circle. This serves as an example of what to expect to see early and late in the voyage along the Norwegian coast, before the ship enters the auroral oval zone. A single exposure at ISO 10000 due to the large motion of the ship. The smoke from the ship is at top, illuminated by the funnel lights that were not turned off this night.
The Northern Lights from at sea when leaving the Lofoten Islands, Norway heading toward the mainlaind, from Stamsund to Bodo, March 3, 2019. This was from the Hurtigruten ship the ms Trollfjord. This is looking northwest. This display was with a Kp Index of only 1 or 2 and was active and bright only briefly around midnight. The orange horizon glow is light pollution from the city lights back on the Lofoten Islands. This is a single 2-second exposure for at f/2 with the 15mm Venus Optics lens and Sony a7III at ISO 6400.
