Aurora Borealis forms curtain pattern over Wiseman Alaska

Arctic Circle light display – A vibrant display of lights shines over Wiseman, Alaska during the peak time of the year to view the Aurora Borealis. This natural light display, also known as the Northern Lights, is produced by solar wind particles in earth’s magnetic field. Here, an auroral curtain pattern fills the sky with waves undulating back forth with varying light intensity. This magnificent light display occurred during moonrise over the Smith Creek Dome, Midnight Dome Peaks.
