VESTRAHORN, ICELAND

“Tingling with hopeful anticipation, we yearned to experience Iceland’s Northern Lights inspired by imagery we’d long salivated over. Latin for ‘northern dawn’, the aurora borealis exhibited a solar-powered jig of shimmering green drapes rippling across the horizon above Vestrahorn in the south-east. Faces glued to the sky, we eyed nature’s greatest show numerous times. Some auroras gently glowed for hours. Others flashed vivid emerald in a fleeting moment, the miracle exploding into the phenomenon it is.”
