"...northern lights flashing in matchless power and beauty over the sky in all colours of the rainbow! Seldom had I seen colours so brilliant. Prevailing at first was yellow, but it gradually flickered to green, then sparkling ruby-red began on the arch's underside. "Now from the far west horizon a fiery serpent writhed up over the sky, shining brighter and brighter as it came. It split into three, all brilliantly glittering. Then the colours changed -- the serpent to the south turned ruby-red with yellow spots; one in the middle yellow; to the north, greenish-white.
"Rays swept along the serpents' sides, driven through the ether like waves before a storm wind. They swayed back and forth, now strong, now fainter as they reached and passed the zenith. "Though thinly dressed and shivering with cold, I couldn't tear away till the spectacle was only a faintly glowing fiery serpent on the east horizon. " There is the supernatural for you. If one wants to read mystic meanings into nature, here, surely, is the opportunity."--diary of Fridtjof Nansen, Norwegian polar explorer [ link to ratical.org]
