The last Aurora we were lucky enough to capture in 2018 a few days before the New Year. We had this display up at a particularly frosty Pyramid Lake in Jasper National Park; and it was quite dynamic to the eye. Aurora have been few and far between this last 12 months, so let’s hope this year we can officially call out 2018 as the solar minimum and things begin to pick up. That’s Pyramid Mountain shrouded in cloud on the left at 2,766m or 9,075ft.
Angel Glacier on the north face of Mount Edith Cavell . Originally named due to its distinctive appearance in the form of an angel it is melting rapidly and no longer connected to the lake below. It will eventually disappear completely from the face of Mount Edith Cavel. Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.
“Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable” Mary Olive Spent most of the night just below Nub Peak (2,755 m or 9,039 ft) to get this shot. I like the perspective higher up as Mount Assiniboine (3,618m or 11,870ft) rightfully towers over Sunburst Peak (2,849 m or 9,347 ft) in the foreground which you don’t appreciate at the nublet far below. Was a wee bit chilly up there at night. However between a warm dinner and our portable espresso machine, which @saultphotography and I lugged up there, we were warm and awake. Lucky to have a particularly large Mars thanks to its close 2018 approach and managed to line it up nicely with the top of Assiniboine. Made for an interesting decent with our head torches but we eventually made it back down to the tent just ahead of dawn, for a brief rest before getting up somewhat deliriously to shoot the sunrise at Magog Lake.
