It's not often that one encounters a short video on YouTube that makes you contemplate your place in the universe. This is one of those videos [tip: watch this with the sound on].
Feeding humpback whales breaking the surface of the water along Norway's coast, while the Aurora Borealis dances in the skies. These two phenomena, which are a once-in-a-lifetime shot for a filmmaker, make for an impressive combination on video.
According to EarthTouch News Network, the footage was shot by Norwegian cameraman Harald Albrigtsen, who works for the Norwegian media company NRK.
Albrigtsen was testing out a new low-light conditions camera when he spotted the whale/aurora combination. (He had spotted whales near that location earlier in the day.)
