Summary[edit]

Description
English: A wide view over Storfjorden (a part of Lyngen fjord) in a winter night in 2012 March. Some Aurora borealis (known as the northern lights) are running across the sky. The summits lighted by the Moon on the other side of the fjord belong to the Lyngen Alps (Lyngsfjellan). Also the planets Jupiter and Venus are quite near to each other (the bright dots, center left).
Français : Vue panoramique de Storfjorden (localité située dans le Fjord de Lyngen) en 2012 durant une nuit hivernale. Quelques aurores boréales (Aurora borealis) peuvent être aperçues dans le ciel.

NOTE: This image is a panorama consisting of multiple frames that were merged or stitched in software using a cylindrical projection. As a result, this image necessarily underwent some form of digital manipulation. These manipulations may include blending, blurring, cloning, and colour and perspective adjustments. As a result of these adjustments, the image content may be slightly different from reality at the points where multiple images were combined. This manipulation is often required due to lens, perspective, and parallax distortions.
