Milky way night sky stars over a small unnamed tombolo island in Lake Superior near Grand Marais, MN. Taken on a cold night in July before smoke from all the western wildfires this summer rolled in.
The Northern part of the Superior National Forest in Minnesota is 1 of only 14 places in the world designated by the International Dark Sky Association as a Dark Sky Sanctuary: "land that has an exceptional or distinguished quality of starry nights and a nocturnal environment". On clear moonless nights, the night sky in this area is amazing!
