Sky Light
Photograph by Emma Blythman, National Geographic Your Shot
Viewed from a remote ecolodge, the aurora borealis unfurls over a snowy plain in Canadas Northwest Territories. Having always had a love of the stars, I moved to the lodge to see the aurora and to learn to live off the land, writes Your Shot member Emma Blythman. Each night, after learning how to hunt and collecting wood, I would camp out by candlelight at the igloo, set up my camera, and watch the aurora dance above my head for hours. Magical.

(36,610 posts)My very favorite "Far Side" cartoon of all time, & yes, I can pick just one.
Two polar bears are standing over an igloo & one bear says to the other, "Oh hey, I just love these things. A crunchy outside & a nice chewy center."
