Glacier Bay, Alaska – For a few magical minutes on the night of January 30, the sky over Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve lit up with shimmering colors.

A ribbon of green and pink light danced across the stars, casting its glow above the waters of Bartlett Cove.

The rare aurora was captured in real time. The video shows exactly what could be seen with the naked eye.

The light moved gracefully over the water, reflecting its colors in a breathtaking natural show.

The brief display turned the quiet night into a moment of wonder.
