This is the Northern Lights as seen from the Chuchill Northern Studies Centre, Churchill, Manitoba, Feb 1-2, 2014, with a Learning Vacations tour group. The display was fairly weak by northern standards but did brighten for a few minutes at about the same time as the skies cleared and a hole opened in the cloud deck above us. Our group of 20 people enjoyed their first look at the aurora since arriving three days earlier. This is a 30-second exposure at f/2.8 with the Rokinon 14mm lens and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 3200.
