That's gorgeous.
I'm amazed by the amount of detail visible on the mountain. Is all the light in the photo from the Aurora Borealis?

Thank you! Yeah the valley was completely lit up by the lights in the sky, it was like nothing I've ever seen before

I hope to see it for myself some day!

Keep in mind that the streaking from the stars implies there was a long exposure of at least 7 seconds. In real life, it wouldn't be this bright.

It absolutely is this bright or brighter in real life. I've had it bright enough where I have been able to turn my headlights off and the aurora lights up the ice on the road. It is surprisingly bright at times.

It can be. But it very very very rarely is as far south as this photo was taken.

Absolutely this! These sights do happen as photo’d but the location, date and weather are down to “almost” luck. You have a much higher chance the farther north you go
