“Green Balls”

Taken in Northern Russia in February 2022, getting this image required braving frigid temperatures. At about -22 degrees Fahrenheit, “you can only leave your tripod in one position because it will freeze, and you won’t be able to get it up or down,” said photographer Jose D. Riquelme. Behold the result: an arresting shot of the aurora’s arcs, sweeping across the sky.
