FROM 2011-Return to Nome, Alaska, in Winter

Aurora!

Wonderful green curtain across the sky over Hudson's Bay from the 747 – then the moon came up. The aurora too difficult to photograph through the window but here's the moon and Greenland. We crossed the Greenland coast from Davis Strait 48 miles north of Nuuk where we stopped in 2008 – eerie crossing Berri's track up there in the semi gloom before sunrise, with the sea ice in huge sheets. Couldn't see any bears but there was a ship (I think) out in the strait.
