Northern Lights over Yellow Knife, Yukon, Canada

Fire Rainbow - Yukon, Canada
This is the rarest of all naturally occurring atmospheric phenomena. Clouds have to be cirrus, at least 20,000 feet high, with just the right amount of ice crystals, THEN the sun has to hit the crystals at PRECISELY 58 degrees!This event occurred on the Idaho/Washington border and lasted about 1 hour.
