Bright green aurora arcs upward in the night sky above a dense stand of black spruce trees coated in heavy snow. The snow-covered forest glows faintly under the aurora’s light, while faint purple tones blend into the background sky filled with stars.

Close-up view of the Gabriel Icefall on the Gulkana Glacier, showing jagged blue-white ice fractured into steep seracs. A dark cave opens at the base where the glacier meets a vertical gray rock cliff. Streaks of dirt and old snow mark the lower ice, contrasting with the sharp texture and deep crevasses higher up the slope.
