The first chartered flight from Dunedin to see the Aurora Australis has delivered spectacular results.
Photographers including organiser Ian Griffin have published a series of images showing heavenly views of the southern sky taken from on board a chartered Boeing 767.
A time-lapse video also shows the close-up view ofthe phenomenon.
Tickets were priced at $3950 per pair of window seats in economy, and $8500 per pair in business class.
The flight path would zigzag across the international dateline four times, so people on both sides of the aircraft could get a good view of the aurora, he said.
