I saw the northern lights over a pristine Icelandic lake. It was one of those rare moments where you feel like time has stopped and you are living in an alternate reality, filled with magic instead of mundane life problems.

If you like scenes out of a movie then you should absolutely visit the abandoned DC plane on the black beach at Sólheimasandur. This is a very unique location that is just out of this world. This plane is fully accessible as you can see my travel partner on top of it. Not something you get to witness every day for sure.

Iceland is known for its beautiful natural phenomenon, the Northern Lights. The Aurora Borealis are created when electrically charged particles from solar winds interact with Earth's upper atmosphere and emit colorful lights in an arc-shape that resemble rippling water across the sky. If you plan to visit Iceland during winter or early spring, be sure to book accommodations at dark places away from city lights where northern light displays can best be seen!

It was a clear night and the stars were out in all their glory above this majestic waterfall. The northern lights danced through the sky, creating an ethereal scene as I stood there looking up at it with my mouth agape.

The mountain of Kirkjufell is located on the north side of Iceland and has a height over 4,000 feet. It's known as one of Iceland’s most picturesque mountains with its perfect cone-like shape rising high above sea level. The surrounding area also contains many other stunning waterfalls such as Svartifoss or black falls that are hidden within another beautiful glacier crater named Seljalandsfoss which you can view from behind safely since it doesn't have any hazardous cliffs around it to fall off from
The mountain for Kirkjufell in Icelandic is recognized by being called "the Mountain" because this name just fits perfectly into describing how magnificent and majestic this stony little kingdom looks especially when standing so close.
