A dazzling display of extremely rare pink auroras transformed the skies above Norway, and one lucky photographer was able to capture the sight.
The mesmerising lights were sparked by a solar storm that ripped temporary holes in the earth’s magnetic field.
“Tonight’s Northern Lights didn’t even look like Northern Lights,” Varik wrote on his Facebook page.
“The strongest pink/purple I have ever seen.
“We were very lucky to witness it.
“Incredible thing about this nitrogen-fuelled purple is, it looks the same to the naked eyes compared to the green, which is almost always stronger inside the camera.”
The best place to see the colourful light display is in the south of Tasmania.
