YELLOWKNIFE, Northwest Territories (Feb. 29) - In the subarctic woods of Canada’s Northwest Territories, a quiet crowd searches the moonlit sky, a wave of concern creeping into hushed voices. Time is running out. Then a funnel of greenish light appears in the east, a sign that the show is about to begin.



It hangs still at first, then ripples like steam in a glass tube. On the opposite horizon, a waving curtain of color spreads above the trees, drawing shouts of glee from the crowd.

“It’s so romantic!” a woman shrieks, clasping her partner’s hand. Others are busy adjusting their digital cameras.
