The polar night sky was graced by a rare daytime aurora.
A dazzling, magnificent aurora appeared before them in a breathtaking display.

Feng Shan stood to the side with the camp's employees.
If Zhang Kai hadn't kept warning them they'd be late for their flight, the tourists might have tried to stay another day.
On the airport runway.
Three DHC-6s had been waiting for some time. Two planes would have been enough to carry the tour group away.
