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.
Northern Lights in Iceland
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 Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, are a mesmerizing sight that you can see in Iceland. They're caused by particles from solar flares colliding with molecules of oxygen and nitrogen high up above earth's atmosphere. I love this photo but it’s even more impressive in person!

Under a canopy of stars, the Northern Lights dance in an electric green and blue hue over Iceland. When dancing low to the horizon, these lights look like swarms of fireflies congregating together before they wave their shimmering tails into another dimension creating a magical scene that seems out-of this world.
Iceland Northern Lights
Iceland is a magical place. I spent 10 days there with 3 of my good friends riding around in a van and exploring most of the country. I’ll never forget this night when we sat under this magical display of the norther lights while eating a fresh caught bass for dinner. On this night we watching as the Milky Way presented itself across the arctic sky and then minutes later the northern lights came out and gave us a magical show. I just applied for a 3 week residency back in Iceland to capture the northern lights. I can’t wait to get back there one day to witness the magic of the northern lights.
