Description

A great display of the northern lights last night. They reached the northern side of the sky as well which they rarely do in my location. Usually its just something in the southern sky, but they also frequently reach overhead. 

The sun is disappearing any day now. Yesterday it was just barely high enough to shine over the nearby mountains, but not sure it will do the same today. 

Last friday the people in Qeqertaq held a memorial for three men who went fishing, but never returned. After searching for them, their boat was found 100km south-west near the town of Qeqertarsuaq (Disko Island). One of the men lived here and everyone here gathered around his blue house and lit candles on the snow outside.

Qeqertaq, Greenland. A small isolated island of 100 people located at exactly 70 degrees northern latitude.
