Minnesota, -20 °C. After hearing that even Lviv got a glimpse of the aurora, skipping it here felt almost criminal. -20? Fine. That Duluth Trading Company parka I bought three years ago, after a long internal fight with my wallet, finally got its moment. The last two Minnesota winters were such a joke that it had been hanging in the closet untouched, waiting for a real reason to exist.

I was late to the party. Peak activity was around 6 pm, and I only made it out around midnight. A little flicker, and then nothing. But unexpectedly, I learned something useful: winter aurora watching can actually be very comfortable if you drive out onto a frozen lake. No trees, no buildings, just space and sky.
And yes, a small background panic about whether the ice will hold 🤪

It was a freezing night – it actually felt colder than my October trip up north chasing the aurora in Norway. But this place is so worth it. To look. To marvel. To photograph.

J'ai très peu montré cette photo qui ne remplissait pas mes objectifs pour cette nuit là. Je la sors, finalement, des archives aujourd'hui pour vous la partager.
