I stood on an icepack in the Yuckon. It was cold out, but bearable. Maybe 40 below.

It was midnight, and I was looking at the stars - it was impressive, how many stars you can see, without city lights around you. And the nearest electric light to this spot was a long, cold, fifty mile hike away.

I felt my mustache - icicles again. Oh, well. It was funny, how the moisture from my breath would form into icicles.

All of a sudden, the sky lit up in the most phantasic electic blue - filled with swirls, it looked like a galaxy had come to visit. To my night-adjusted eyes, the light was brilliant - one of those things that confirms, in your soul, the existance of God.

Exactly.

I saw them on lake in the northwoods. The only light around was from the billions of stars that were in the sky that night.

It's one of those things in life where, it's hard to describe the beauty of the Northern Lights to someone who hasn't seen it.

I've never seen something so spectacular. Nobody said word watching it because we were all in awe.

Could you imagine seeing them like this! :)
