Lava Tube Borealis

Lava Tube Borealis

I photographed Lava Tube Borealis in Lava Beds National Monument, California, in 1990. I was down in a lava tube late at night photographing the stars in motion through holes in the ceiling, here capturing the Big Dipper as it swung around the North Star. After the exposure was over (about a 30-minute exposure) I realized that the sky's color was beginning to change. It turned out I had captured the beginning of the aurora borealis, which is very rare at this latitude of about 41º N. This image was used on the cover of NORTHYRN LYTES by Hip Hop artist MANIFEST.
