Explanation:
What does an aurora
look like to a frog?
"Awesome!" is the likely answer, suggested by this imaginative
snapshot taken on October 3rd from Kiruna, Sweden.
Frequented by apparitions
of the northern lights,
Kiruna is located in Lapland north of the Arctic Circle,
and often under the
auroral
oval surrounding planet Earth's geomagnetic north pole.
To
create a tantalizing view from a frog's perspective
the photographer turned on the flashlight on her phone and placed it on
the ground facing down, resting her camera's lens on top.
The "diamonds" in the foreground are icy pebbles right in front of the
lens, lit up by the flashlight.
Reflecting the shimmering northern lights, the "lake" is a
frozen puddle on the ground.
Of course, in the distance is the
Bengt
Hultqvist Observatory.
