Okay, so now that I have gotten my topic in place. I decided to start writing on my story. I am writing as I go, and so far I got this. Please let me know if they're is anything I can do to make this introduction better.

Aurora

The polar regions are some of the most beautiful places in the world. I mean the wild life is arguably the most marvelous on the planet. That's not the only thing however, the heavy snow stacking in the distance is sure worth the harsh conditions. Then there is the colorful icebergs singing in the breeze. It is such a wonderful thing to witness.



One thing truly exceptional about these polar regions is the Sun. There is so many things the Sun has done for such a beautiful area. Take the Winter and Summer for example. In the summer, the sun stays up past midnight, and in some places, barely goes down at all. While in those harsh winters, it is night time all the time. Of course, I would never want to live there, but visiting there is a number one thing on my bucket list.



There is one thing, that I want to see more than anything. That is, if I happen to make a journey to one of the polar regions. The Aurora is without a doubt the most eye-catching thing of the poles. It glows in the distance with it's colorful light that dances in the distance. The world's greatest light show they call it.



In case you are wondering how this phenomena works, let me explain. You see, when solar activity flares up from the sun, the poles become like big magnets. Since the suns light makes a prism, which allows us to see color, the magnetic field the sun shoots out is then sucked in by the Earth's poles, and left out a color. So in a simple manner, the phenomena is a magnetic field that is colorful because the sun gives it off.









I was 14 when I wrote that essay. It was a small report for 8th Grade Geography. I believe the topic was on natural beauties. 22 now, and I am about to get what I wanted. You see, the difference between me and the other students, was that I meant every word in my report. I truly did want to go to one of the polar regions, and now I can.



<p style="margin-bottom:0in">It was almost the perfect time as well. It was Spring, so the snow wasn't too unbearable, and solar activity had really fired up the past month. Enough time before my spring break, I planned to go to a remote hotel in Northern Greenland on March 21st, 2011. I planned to stay for the next 6 days.

I had checked in to a second story room with a balcony. I admit, as much as I would like to say the hotel gave me chills, it was well maintenance and modern. It was a local hotel, and they had nice golden door knobs. Okay, I exaggerated that a little. Miners had found gold in this area, and they then paid a company to make a door knob at least 0.3% gold. The rest with a mix of recycled items. The bedrooms themselves were average. What you would expect at your average Comfort Inn. The balcony had a nice view, but this Spring was rough. The temperature had dropped to 3 degrees Fahrenheit since I flew in a few hours ago. I personally would not go out there at all unless it reached 20oF or above.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">For the first two days, I had walked outside briefly, when it was day, and did a little exploring. I grabbed snowshoes and a snow mobile, and drove around. It was as beautiful. They're were white little bunny rabbits that ran across, and you would try to find them. Snow Owls would fly around you here and they're. If you ventured maybe 20 miles east, you would find a polar bear. If you got far enough, then you would see a walrus, and hear whales. It was a really nice sight, even if there was nothing to do except wait for something extraordinary. Although, you can't go too far, if you don't make it back to the house before maybe 5:00 pm, then these wolves will follow you. Jumping up at the snow mobile. On the third day, I did something a little different. I decided to not become one with nature, and find some internet. Take some pictures, watch some television. Let's face it, unless you grew up here, it would be hard to not have that temptation. So I went off the snow mobile track, and got in my car. The road was smooth, there actually was more snow than ice. So it was pretty easy, just took a while. It was probably an hour and a half, when I found a pub and grill. It was right near the border of Canada. A lot of people where in there for it being near the Arctic Desert and what not. They had internet and a television. I noticed the news channel was on, and I watched it. A huge smile had been slapped onto my face as the news kept talking. A huge solar flare, the largest since 1602, is most likely going to hit this Friday. I can finally see the Aurora. <ac_metadata title="Creepypasta Intro - Aurora"> </ac_metadata>
