Aurora Australis – The Southern Lights
A Rare Night on the Ridge
Every so often, the night sky offers something extraordinary.
Earlier this year, as guests settled into their cabins and the valley grew quiet, a soft green glow appeared on the horizon. It began almost shyly and faintly, like a trick of the eye. But as our cameras and phones lifted to the sky, the glow deepened, stretched and spilled into pinks and purples.
