EDITORS COMMENTS
Bask in the ethereal beauty of the Northern Lights over Porsangerfjord, Norway, an enchanting scene captured in this historic photograph. This breathtaking image transports us to the heart of Norwegian Lapland, a region rich in natural phenomena and cultural history. The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is a natural light display in the polar regions, predominantly seen in the night sky during winter months. The phenomenon is caused by solar particles colliding with Earth's atmosphere, resulting in stunning displays of light in various colors. In this photograph, the Aurora Borealis casts an otherworldly glow over the tranquil waters of Porsangerfjord, creating a mesmerizing contrast between the natural elements. Reindeer, an integral part of the Arctic landscape and the Lapps' (Samis) traditional livelihood, graze peacefully on the snow-covered ground, seemingly undisturbed by the celestial spectacle above. The Lapps, or Sami people, have a long and fascinating history in this region, dating back to around 1870. They have lived in the Arctic for thousands of years, relying on reindeer herding as their primary source of food, shelter, and income. The image captures a moment in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the Lapps and their connection to the land. This photograph, taken circa 1900, is a testament to the enduring beauty and mystery of the Northern Lights and the Arctic landscape. It invites us to reflect on the wonders of nature and the importance of preserving the cultural heritage of communities like the Lapps, who have lived in harmony with the natural world for generations.
