Explanation:
Light pollution is usually not a problem
in Qeqertaq.
In western Greenland the remote coastal village
boasted a population of 114 in 2020.
Lights still shine in its dark skies though.
During
planet Earth's recent
intense
geomagnetic storm,
on November 6 these beautiful
curtains of aurora borealis fell
over the arctic realm.
On the eve of the coming weeks of
polar night
at 70 degrees north latitude,
the inspiring display of northern lights is reflected
in the waters of Disko Bay.
In this view from the isolated settlement a lone iceberg is
illuminated by shore lights as it drifts
across
the icy sea.
