Northern Lights, Canada, 2000

"With infinite wilderness overhead, a traveler's tent lit from within turns into a starship navigating the northern lights. Contrary to widely held belief, the aurora borealis is not strictly a phenomenon of winter lights in the Arctic. It paints summer skies as well, and can occur as far south as Yellowstone."

—From the National Geographic book Yellowstone to Yukon, 2000
