Daniel Ermold is a professor at the Université Lausanne (UNIL) who is interested in aurora borealis. To capture them in the Arctic, he has begun taking photos that depict their beauty and avoid the many dazzling landscapes (the Northern Lights can be seen in some parts of the north of Russia). Here are some of Ermold’s photos of the Arctic regions taken in September 2018.
Ermold tells the story of his trip in his Google+ post.

Eric Newby of Copenhagen, Danish Greenland and ERN projects has been taking pictures of Northern Lights for 40 years. I first met him at Lindblad to show him a custom-made camera kit consisting of hot fired bellows consisting of 1-piece of plastic and die-cut case, a mineral exposure filter insert, manual shutter, headlamp, safety helmet and a custom-made time lapse memory card for capturing images of the Aurora.
