“Storm Over Sukakpak” by Nickolas Warner
Northern Lights Photographer Of The Year Awards 01

The annual Northern Lights Photographer of the Year competition by Capture the Atlas reveals the most amazing aurora borealis or australis photos of the year. Capture the Atlas is a popular travel and photography blog that helps photographers improve their skills, especially in landscape and astrophotography.

“Nothing is more captivating than watching the Aurora Borealis color the sky with green and violet. This phenomenon makes every place magical when the Aurora lights up the night sky.

We are approaching the solar maximum of our current solar cycle, which means Northern Lights can be seen at lower latitudes and from new places where they have not been photographed before. To inspire you for your next shots, we present the 25 best Northern Lights photos from around the world in this 6th edition of our Northern Lights Photographer of the Year.”
