Last night we had the opportunity to witness the most amazing light show...put on by mother nature herself. We drove about 45 minutes north of whitehorse at 11:00pm until the city lights were miles away. It was such a clear night that every star in the sky was visible, except for when you looked North where there was an eerie green arch like a rainbow spanning accross the sky. It started out quite faint but within 20 minutes 2 other arches formed as well and the green became brighter and brighter. Just when we thought we would never see anything more spectacular, the green began to shootup from the arches in all directions. The green was joined by purple and red and the colors began to dance and twirl accross the night sky. It was hard to believe that what we were seeing was au natural and not man made. When we began to freeze we headed into the log cabin with a roaring fire for some hot chocolate to warm up. We stayed out until 2am and are still amazed by what we saw. Gas: $20.00, Winter boots: $200.00, Sitting on a frozen-snow covered lake watching the Northern Lights dance around us: PRICELESS.
