"Perseverance"
It had been clouded and snowing/raining for nearly 48 hours. The forecast announced an early clearing of the sky for my last night, which unfortunately did not happen. I checked the sky every half hour until around 3:30 AM I finally saw some stars. I ran out across town to one of the usual dark spots, and Aurora started softly dancing in the sky to say goodbye!
For 3 weeks, I was hoping for this shot: the Aurora dancing above the Disko Bay covered of icebergs. It is a rare sight, because the water is facing the northern horizon, and over there only the strongest Aurora go that way (Aurora is usually on the southern horizon in Ilulissat). It did happen once before during my trip, but the strong wind had pushed the icebergs away.
So this morning, 3 hours and 6 minutes before my flight out of Ilulissat, it happened.
Goodbye Ilulissat, goodbye Greenland, you have been so good to me! I will definitely return! In between, stay tuned for many, many photos of this amazing trip.
