Aurora over Fagradalsfjall Volcano, Iceland

“Witnessing the intensity and force of an erupting volcano marked one of the most incredible moments in my life. Capturing the juxtaposition of the cold fire in the sky – the aurora – against the hot fire of Earth’s core was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It involved multiple attempts, including long hikes to the eruption site during the night, and the aurora season was nearly concluding. Just before the midnight Sun took over, the Northern Lights appeared one night, right after sunset, enabling the capture of both phenomena in a single image. The picture is a composite of 8 shots with varying exposure times, allowing the aurora to glow against the backdrop of the lava’s incandescence.”
