A photographic record of Alaska’s aurora displays

Daryl Pederson’s collection centers on the northern lights as they appear over Alaska during a period of heightened solar activity. Its 160 photographs use ultra-high-definition imaging to capture the aurora’s shifting light and motion, while the accompanying context connects those displays to solar storms and charged particles in Earth’s atmosphere. Framed as a regional photography book, it brings together images not previously collected in book form and keeps the natural phenomenon itself in the foreground.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Photography enthusiasts interested in natural phenomena
  • Travel and pictorial-book browsers with an interest in Alaska
  • Readers curious about the aurora borealis and solar activity

Book overview

The northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis, put on remarkable shows of light and motion in high latitudes--Alaska being the perfect place to see them. Shot with ultra-high definition cameras, this book of amazing photographs showcases a period of unusually high solar activity in the northern lights. These new photos take full advantage of the latest advances in photographic technology and the active solar storms of the past several years that cause the lights. With 160 images that have never been collected in book form, this book allows us to witness charged particles in the earth's atmosphere clash with electrons and protons released by the sun.
