UAF bonfire and Murphy Dome aurora viewing

[glacier_kitty]

Yesterday were the annual bonfires at the university..dad and I had never been before, so we thought it would be fun to go. The bonfires celebrate the start of a new school year..a way of easing students in I think. It was indeed fun..there were 4 or 5 "stockpiles" they burned..OMG it was SUPER hot haha. My face felt like it was gonna catch on fire! I like to watch fire though..it can definitely be beautiful. There was also this crazy music and a bunch of people were dancing..it was fun just to take in the atmosphere haha (though I kinda felt "uncool" :P)

After watching the bonfires we went up to Murphy Dome to watch the Northern Lights! I had always wanted to do that, but hadn't had a chance. It was cool to see the lights in an arc across the sky. The stars and Milky Way were so pretty too!! It would be so cool to be up there when the lights are super active. We watched for almost an hour and then went back home. Fun night haha

Wow,these fires look impressive! From the pictures, you'd almost think it was a house burning down or something o_O
I can definitely see how that would get super hot standing close to them.
