Earlier this week, Yellowknife was home to a strange (and beautiful) phenomenon: light pillars. It happens when natural or artificial light bounces off ice crystals close to the ground - and it creates a pretty spectacular sight! This shot of the pillars (with a little aurora, to boot) was sent to us by Emma Lacaille St-Amour. (submitted by Emma Lacaille St-Amour)
