Camped Out Under Northern Lights • An Extreme & Unexpected Solar Storm

On 10th May 2024, our sun unleashed on to the earth the most powerful solar storm in two decades. Caused by recent solar flares, multi-coloured aurora borealis lit up the sky across the globe. I found myself camped out on a hill that night, completely by chance, to experience the most surreal & beautiful night out of my life :) 💚💙💜

They were amazing weren't they? I get alerts from an app, but ive had 100+ alerts over the years and not seen much at all - then blammo! We were giddy like children at Christmas, it was just fantastic seeing them in their full glory. We're exactly the opposite side from beautiful Wales in Lincolnshire but had the same experience. Breathtaking.

makes us feel so small, doesn't it. so glad you experienced that.

[@skipugh]

Gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. I’ve seen the northern lights several times in Alaska but they weren’t nearly as spectacular as what you saw. 😮. You got the benefit of a massive solar storm. The biggest in over 20 years. The storm was a massive ejection from the sunspot named AR3664 which was over 20 times the size of earth. I know you probably think my description isn’t romantic or beautiful, but I’m a nerd who finds beauty in math and physics.

[@ThatWenders]

‘To feel, to care, sometimes too much’ - this was the sense I got watching the lights on a beach not far from where you were. It was completely overwhelming and in a weird way seemed to amplify my feelings about some of the awful things happening in the world. It was however unbelievably beautiful and an emotional experience to see something so rare and incredible on my doorstep. I can’t imagine how intense that was for you alone and unaware of what was happening.

[@WildBeare]

It's strange isn't it, it seems to have been quite an emotional event for many people, quite overwhelming 💜 so glad you got to see it too

Thanks so much for posting such beautiful images, truly stunning. Thanks.

[@EricEsquivel_Brazil]

Clair, it was the universe that was in perfect sync, because your trip took place during the exact period of one of the strongest solar eruptions ever recorded. A record amount of solar mass was expelled and was directed exactly toward our planet Earth. Our planet resisted and you witnessed a so unique event in the history of Earth. I thank you immensely and my eyes filled with water looking at your photos and video. I live in a city located on the Tropic of Capricorn and we were not lucky enough to witness this event. From this Brazilian follower, I wish that God continues to bless you and take care that you always return safely to your family. Stay safe, happy, and enlightened with the blessings of the universe and God. Thank you very, very much for sharing this special moment.

I’m at 41° N, 91° W, and the aurora was visible here as well. The vivid purple color indicated that it was indeed an intense solar storm. Your imagery is amazing and beautiful. Thanks. Btw, I get replies that ask me to respond on Telegram, but I don’t use that app, because it seems a bit sketchy to me; I think it’s possibly someone trying to entice me somehow.

Thanks for sharing it with me 🤗💜

[@Steve.Outdoors]

Hi Claire, I just wanted to say thank you for your fantastic videos, you do not know me but I am ex-army and did a lot of things in my time in the forces especially along the lines of outdoor pursuits and so on. I love nature and being out in extremes and had the fortunate opportunity to travel the world putting skills into practice in different environments. But shortly after leaving the forces I became unwell both physically and mentally. I also suffered a stroke around 4 years ago which has left me damaged and with limited capabilities which include walking. I am now classed as disabled and for a long time I beat myself up as when I attempted to do things, I compared myself how I used to be and gave up doing stuff. Leading to more depression and low self-esteem. However, things have now changed now for me and I see the positive in things (as you say it’s only a plan that changes and that isn’t a fail and positivity can be found by just being out there) I am now reliving my passion by adapting, and that is with thanks to yourself and others. I hope you do not mind but I created my own channel and did a video of which I have used a few clips of you from your videos to promote you and for others to see where I got my inspiration from and my channel is based on being outdoors, camping and so on while living with limitations, so I hope you do not mind me doing this and should it be a problem please let me know and of course I will respect your wishes. My channel if you wish to watch the video is at kzbin.info/door/nvGYskLr2oOWBA06ggbKlQ and so far, the only video on my channel but I have plans to make a lot more. As you see I am an amateur when it comes to producing videos LOL but I will learn over time. Thank you for inspiring me through your channel and please keep up the fantastic work.

The recent (and significant) solar storm made the northern lights and the southern hemisphere equivalents something extraordinary this time round. They were visible from most parts of the world. Many of us might not see the likes of these again. May I come and sit with you, on your hill, next time round? 😇 😃 Here in the southern hemisphere (Australia) we had our own version - they call it Aurora Australis - it was equally magnificent and I had the pleasure of observing from a remote and isolated place on top of a hill too. Just magnificent.

​@@BillSaltbushsounds amazing 🤩 Hello 👋 from Poland 🇵🇱 and rural life ( channel)

[@jaysimoes3705]

The USA is in general much better to watch them then Europe. The geomagentical pole is not situated at the north pole. If you live north of 40 degrees in the USA you are in a better position than we in Europe at 50 degrees. People in states like Minnesota, Montana and North Dakota see these displays I think at least once or twice per year.

[@stephengirling7859]

Beautiful but tinged with danger. Our protective magnetosphere is gradually dying. Pole reversal coming.

[@patprop74]

The solar eclipse, extreme solar flair aurora borealis, are somethings that feels like it wakes up the inner connection within us that we have with mother Earth, and just makes us wanna live in that moment for as long as possible, I understand how you felt, when you said just watching the footage and it made you cry, being blessed by nature is very moving.

[@richardwoad6477]

Great Videos, but a word of warning!!! My wife's friend was on top of a mountain in Poland. She was taking a photo and stepped back and fell off the cliff.

Experienced the Northern Lights in the Scottish highlands Friday night also. I’d never seen anything like it before either, the whole sky was illuminated with blends of reds, purples, greens and moved so quickly like a cosmic waterfall. Just stood for ages staring up at the night sky, and watching the changing shapes. It was so bright, even the ground was reflecting all the colours. Your video really does do it justice, and i’m glad you posted it for a permanent memory of nature’s beauty. Thank you for sharing.

[@davidmartin1093]

That was my experience of seeing the northern lights here in the Scottish Borders last year too. I'd heard and seen footage that the sky turns green and purple etc but all we saw with the naked eye was gradually moving vertical curtains of what looked like misty cloud. People put wonderful colourful pictures on the local facebook page of that night and I read that not everyone sees the colours without looking through a much more sensitive camera lens that brings out the colours. I didn't bother looking out on Saturday night but a lad told us on Sunday morning that he saw faint colours in the sky from his remote hillside home.

So cool that you captured it! It's always a gift when the Aurora Borealis appear, I also captured this event where I live but it always appears to be the green hue, I guess it's geological location. I have never seen pink and purple WOW! beautiful!

Many of us were forewarned and prepared, but still amazed and mesmerized. We had stupendous views in mid Ontario. That this was a surprise for you adds a whole new element. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing this and your comments. It was visible here in Australia for some but in Sydney we had overcast skies and rain during the event so have relied on the wonderful images provided and shared by others. Thanks again for all your work and how you share the simplicity and awe of the outdoors to keep us connected with our shared experience and reminder that we need to care for this delicate existence.

Glad you got to see the aurora. I was up in the Pennines at Wolf Stones but it all clouded up so saw nothing. Still a good night out in the wild though.

You’ve set the bar very high for your future videos, Claire! That was breath taking and thank you so much for sharing it with us. I don’t think you ended up at that site by chance. You were led there so that your photographic, editing and oratory skills could bring something truly beautiful to us. In a troubled world, your videos show us the beauty that still exists. You are one very talented and inspirational woman. Keep safe on your adventures.
