Big Sam left Seattle in the year of ninety-two With George Pratt his partner and brother Billy too They crossed the Yukon river and they found the bonanza gold Below that old white mountain just a little south-east of Nome Sam crossed the majestic mountains to the valleys far below He talked to his team of huskies as he mushed on through the snow With the northen lights a-runnin' wild in the land of the midnight sun Yes, Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of nineteen-one. from: North to Alaska, by Johnny Horton Scene rendered with blue.pov

Comment: This picture is best viewed in a dark room. We made ski tours north of the polar circle (see our hiking pages for tour reports), and so I should have photos of northern lights. But we usually get very tired on such a tour and sleep in one of these cabins, and so I haven't any. I used the media statement of Povray 3 instead to get this picture.
