The aurora borealis follows an 11 year
cycle where aurora activity is at its maximum on the 11th year. I shot
this video during the 11th year of the cycle. The aurora is a very
dynamic thing, and I feel that still images just don’t do it justice. I
decided I wanted to shoot the aurora using timelapse photography to show
people how the aurora dances in the sky.
I chose Greenland as my main location
for this video because of its remoteness and how far north it is
geographically, and it sits directly under the aurora belt. Greenland
usually has fairly clear skies, which makes the odds of seeing the
aurora much better. The place was very challenging logistically as
travel within Greenland is either by plane, helicopter, dogsled, or
snowmobile. I used two local guides to assist me and we traveled across
the landscape mostly on dogsled.
