Tromsø: Aurora in Ersfjordbotn and Grøtfjord

Aurora moving above the fjords and mountain villages west of Tromsø.

The first night west of Tromsø began beneath cloud and grew steadily brighter. Green arcs formed over Ersfjordbotn, gathered around mountain peaks, and broke into faster folds of light at Grøtfjord. Roads and village lamps anchor the final panoramas, giving scale to the sky and tracing the shore below. The sequence records the aurora changing from a distant ribbon into the dominant presence overhead.
