Paul Zizka, landscape photographer guru and mountain adventurer from Banff, Alberta, is known for capturing The Great White North from snow to sun. Aurora borealis, known as The Northern Lights, is a natural phenomena that occurs when electrons collide with the upper, or Northern, reaches of the Earth’s atmosphere. This majestic and breathtaking occurrence is difficult to capture; however, Zizka has mastered the art, capturing the lights when they make their appearance in the early, or late hours in the Canadian Rockies. Read on to discover 25 of his best views of this natural form of magic.
