Few natural phenomena compare to the drama, surprise, and beauty of the northern lights. Witnessing their dance across the sky is a magical and unforgettable experience. Capturing the aurora borealis with a camera, though, takes careful planning and persistence, an understanding of the science, attention to the data and conditions, and a dose of luck.

For over a decade, landscape photographer Paul Zizka has been on a chase to capture the northern lights

one that has taken him right off his doorstep in Banff, Canada, throughout the Canadian Rockies, and to the far-flung corners of the Northern Hemisphere: the Northwest Territories, Yukon, Nunavik, Labrador, Iceland, and Greenland.

This spectacular collection compiles Zizka's finest northern lights photographs and showcases the varied nature of this celestial display in an array of settings. From electric green to royal purple, streaking the sky over mountains or reflecting off iceberg-laden seas, Spirits in the Sky displays the aurora borealis like you've never seen it before.

Reviews for Spirits in the Sky: Northern Lights Photography

“The gorgeous photographs of the northern lights in Spirits in the Sky are magical and transportive.” – Foreward Reviews ""This spectacular collection compiles Zizka’s finest northern lights photographs and showcases the varied nature of this celestial display in an array of settings. From electric green to royal purple, streaking the sky over mountains or reflecting off iceberg-laden seas, Spirits in the Sky displays the aurora borealis like you’ve never seen it before."" – James M. Fisher, the Miramichi Reader ""Nature and adventure photographer Paul Zizka offers stunning images and narrative in Spirits in the Sky: Northern Lights Photography. Photos with brief, descriptive captions take center stage. They are accompanied by a few concise sections of text, which provide an overview of what the northern lights (or aurora borealis) are; some of the myths used to explain them; and the stories behind Zizka's work in capturing these breathtaking images. Wildlife, human models, outdoor sports and self-portraits appear among the images, but it is the wildly colorful lights themselves--in the striking landscapes of Canada, Greenland, Norway, Iceland and the Faroe Islands--that make these photos unforgettable. Spectacular scenery and an elusive natural phenomenon combine in special ways in this gorgeous collection of art photography."" – Julia Kastner, Shelf Awareness ""I have been a huge fan of Banff photographer Paul Zizka for years. His latest book, Spirits in the Sky: Northern Lights Photography is a stunning collection of photographs taken across northern latitudes over the last decade – including in Greenland, Labrador, Yukon, Iceland, Nunavik, the Northwest Territories and of course across the Canadian Rockies. It would make a great gift."" – Leigh McAdam, hikebiketravel.com
