It was so beautiful! For two hours, from horizon-to-horizon, the northern lights took flight into the night and left me light-hearted. Spirit In The Sky was a popular request during our One-Hit Wonders live stream.Join the Couch Gang dis. If auroras could sing it would have been the sound of angels in glorious harmony. Thanks for checking out our Norman Greenbaum reaction. Rising above the mountains thee most amazingly graceful auroras spread their radiant wings and soared on their journey around our planet.

I was positioned in front of the jagged peaks flanking Atigun Gorge when it happened. With clouds constantly threatening from all sides, the heavens slowly opened up above me with star-filled clarity.
#SPIRIT IN THE SKY PATCH#
Just one flickering pinpoint, but that was all it took to turn my senses full on.īefore long I saw three stars, no wait, six, then a dozen and I could tell the small patch of clear sky was growing in my direction, and so were my hopes! Every once in a while, I’d step out of the truck camper to scan the sky and howl back to a lone wolf that was keeping me company. There was NO hope at all for seeing the aurora in these overcast conditions so I was reading a good book to help me get through the down time. It was Night #10 of the aurora hunt and the sky was 100% cloud-covered. This extreme destination above the Arctic Circle always brings with it a more experiential journey, and on Maaround 3 am the experience was elevated to the spiritual level. Since my first explorational trip to the Brooks Range three decades ago as a geologist, I have been drawn like a magnet to Alaska’s northernmost mountain chain.
