NORTHERN PARADISE
Photograph by STEPHANE VETTER | nuitsacrees.fr
In this breathtaking photograph we see a stunning aurora over an icy Gullfoss waterfalls in southwest Iceland. The photograph was taken in late March. The auroras followed a M-1 class solar flare and powerful coronal mass ejection (CME) two days prior. Also visible is the comet PANSTARRS, faintly visible as a light blip just above the horizon toward the left.
Gullfoss (English: Golden Falls) is a tiered waterfall located in the canyon of Hvítá river. With two drops and a total height of 32 meters, it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country.
What a breathtaking scene to behold. Iceland is surely one of the most beautiful places in the world for nature lovers.
