We can define the aurora as a surprising gift of Nordic and Southern sky. The polar auroras are as suggestive as elusive, so if you hope to see it, you need to combine a little luck to a good deal of planning.

I wish all the readers to live this event. Unfortunately, aurora is an unpredictable event, and it is possible that, despite the impeccable organization, you can’t admire it. To those who came back disappointed, and to those who don’t have the opportunity to try, I offer a little comfort through images that better than words can explain the wonder of this natural phenomenon.

Enjoy the pictures actively, watch from a different perspective by rotating the iPad, hear sounds, scroll the pan, zoom in on details, play games and browse the book in a personal and creative way.
