Aurora Australis (Tahu-nui-ā-Rangi) at Lake Ellesmere, 24 April 2023.

The Southern Lights (Tahu-nui-ā-Rangi in Maori) at Lake Ellesmere captured from the Kaituna Quarry Reserve. The traffic on the left hand side of the clip is travelling on the State Highway 75 to and from Akaroa. The lights on the horizon are most likely aurora chasers near Birdlings Flat. There was a late number of photographers and spectators enjoying the show. The strong southerly wind created a choppy lake surface resulting in poor reflections.
