Casey grew up in Nome, Alaska, in a weather-beaten cabin that smelled of salted cod and solder. Her father worked comms at a remote research station, and by age twelve, Casey had learned that the aurora borealis wasn't magic. It was solar wind chewing on Earth's magnetic field. Particles colliding. Green and purple fire born from physics.

For the 15 to 20 expeditioners who "winter-over" at Casey, the polar lights are a highlight of the long, dark months where temperatures can drop to or lower. casey polar lights-
