Professional ski and mountain bike photogragher Reuben Krabbe , 24 , said : 'We all wanted to make the trip happen , and Tobin and I had talked about trying to capture the single photograph of the Northern Lights and a skier . 'We spent a total of six days on the slopes , from leaving our truck to arriving back at it . 'The moment was very unusual and mesmerising . 'It was difficult to concentrate on a specific task when such a beautiful thing is happening above you . ' The photographer has been skiing since his parents taught him at the age of four , and it has since become a massive part of his life . All the skiing conditions on the mission were off-piste , and in avalanche conditions , up the high mountains . The team braved avalanche and harsh weather conditions but Krabbe fulfilled his four-year wish to capture the Northern Lights in Canada . Friends Tobin Seagel , Dave Gheriani , and Joel Jacques spent six days with Krabbe traversing the Tombstone Territorial Park in Yukon , Canada . To witness the natural disco in its magnificence , you have to head north towards the Arctic , above latitude 60 degrees . The cause of the stunning Northern Lights is solar wind interacting with the Earth 's magnetic field , creating the beautiful , natural light show . The electrically charged particles are drawn to the Earth 's poles and their colours are a result of the different gases in the atmosphere . In the northern hemisphere they are known as the aurora borealis , and many tourists flock to witness the ethereal display , despite the often high cost and cold temperatures . The mysterious show also occurs in the southern hemisphere , the aurora australis , its main audience being the penguins . Krabbe said : ' I love to create images that last in a person 's head , and I think about it for a long time before I capture it . 'So , a single shot like the northern lights will always be special . ' The Northern Lights are caused by solar wind interacting with the Earth 's magnetic field , creating the beautiful light show .
