   Explanation: Light pollution is usually not a problem in Qeqertaq. In
   western Greenland the remote coastal village boasted a population of
   114 in 2020. Lights still shine in its dark skies though. During planet
   Earth's recent intense geomagnetic storm
   , on November 6 these beautiful curtains of aurora borealis fell over
   the arctic realm. On the eve of the coming weeks of polar night at 70
   degrees north latitude, the inspiring display of northern lights is
   reflected in the waters of Disko Bay. In this view from the isolated
   settlement a lone iceberg is illuminated by shore lights as it drifts
   across the icy sea.
