This is a vintage black and white photograph featuring three different depictions of polar lights (aurora borealis). The image is labeled "Polarlichter II" at the top. Each depiction is numbered and accompanied by a location and date. 1. The first image shows a double arc of light across the sky, captured during the Belgica Expedition in 1898. The light appears as a faint, curved band. 2. The second image depicts a bright, concentrated band of light in the sky, resembling a dome or arch. It was captured in Kingua-Fjord in 1882. 3. The third image shows a dramatic display of light beams radiating from a central point in the sky, resembling rays or streamers. It was captured near Cape Thordsen in 1882. At the bottom of the image, there is text indicating that it is from Meyer's Konv.-Lexikon, 6. Aufl., Bibliograph. Institut, Leipzig, and refers to the article "Polarlicht". The overall aesthetic is vintage and scientific, resembling illustrations from an old encyclopedia or scientific publication.
