Remarkable Show of Northern Lights in Iceland
1657
Here some tourists have taken incredible photos displaying the Northern Lights just like fire in the sky, blending the orange glow from erupting volcano in Iceland. The Northern lights dance in the night sky while chasing the orange glow of an erupting volcano.
They say; the celestial display is well worth it as they’re able to take in the rare double treat. Even in one picture, the glow of Holuhraun Lava field at Jokulsarlon glacial lake at the edge of Iceland’s Vantnajokull National Park. We really love them and cannot get more of them, even extremely strong in two times when the solar activity was at a peak. They were so bright, so colorful, and fast, just out of this world. The real natural phenomena lasted around two hours and the colorful display was “unreal”.
This is one of the most attractive and magical places in Iceland when combined with two of the most captivating natural phenomena it was so unreal and hard to believe. We just felt at one with nature and completely forgot everything else. Every time we see them we were wondering what the people in the old days felt when they didn’t know what these lights are.
The beautiful glow from the Holuhraun eruption was located almost 50 miles north of the breathtaking glacial lake, where the green, purple and orange colors reflected off the water’s surface. Moreover, the Holuhraun eruption started last summer and is the largest to occur in Iceland since the Laki eruption from 1783-1784.
We’re sure most of the time you cannot see the purple color with your naked eye. But when they’re really strong you can see the purple, pink and red colors with your eyes. However when the light is too bright to take good pictures because the foreground objects get too dark depending on whether it is a full moon or not. Therefore it all depends on the strength of the sun’s activity.
