Aurora australis over Mawson

Aurora australis over Mawson
Aurora over a living hut named "Balleny" (after an explorer) at Mawson base in Antarctica. This was actually the hut I shared with several others. To give some idea of the brightness of the auroras, this was taken on daylight 25 ISO Kodachrome slide film. It still required a slow exposure (from memory about two minutes, hence star trails) which caused some reciprocity failure in the film, resulting in colour changes - I've tried here to compensate for that in processing the slide copy.

I'd intended to upload this image as a replacement for a very small one posted years ago. Unfortunately that's not possible at present. I have, however, included as a PiP an image of another aurora across Mawson.

Mind-blowing, George! We would dearly love to see this magical sky some day, but for now, your pictures are making me purr! :) Still so amazed that you've spend so much time in Antarctica. I love your pictures so much, as truly, I doubt I'll visit that cold, beautiful place!

I have only seen aurora (borealis) once and still remember the feeling of total awe. It must be even more amazing in a place like Antartica with little or no light pollution (except for the nearby lights at the camp).

Utterly fascinating and great to see auroras in a year where we cannot see them in nature.
