This is a picture of an aurora flap over one of the Chena Lakes in North Pole Alaska. A piture such as this is unusual for this time of year since the lakes usually freeze over that far north. The lake will not reflect the light if it is frozen. Auroras are caused by solar winds blowing past Earth. If you look closely you can also see a meteor straeaking by below the aurora and the Pleiades star cluster.
