There is no doubt that the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, is one of the most awe inspiring sights that you could ever hope to see. They are the result of charged particles from the solar winds striking the Earth’s magnetic field in the upper atmosphere resulting in a light show that is unlike anything else found in nature. The video below was shot in Iceland and features some striking images of this phenomenon. It seems that the Northern Lights were specifically made for timelapse photography as well because they are breathtaking here. Enjoy!
