“This image was captured at Stokssnes in Iceland, showing the Northern Lights above Vestrahorn. It’s rare for everything to align when capturing the Northern Lights, especially in Iceland, but on this occasion, everything came together, including a meteor shower and the icy foreground, which is rare for this location.

I spotted the ice in the morning and knew it would reflect the green glow of the aurora really well, which is generally what I’m looking for in Northern Lights images. The aurora became visible during blue hour and continued to dance away for the night, lining up perfectly around the mountain. It was definitely a night to remember.”
