Time-lapse pictures captured the northern lights on the outskirts of the capital, Reykjavík.
The lights, also known as the aurora borealis, occur when charged particles collide with gases in the Earth’s atmosphere around the magnetic poles. When they collide, light is emitted at different wavelengths, creating colorful displays in the sky.
Auroras are most often observed over high polar latitudes and are mainly influenced by geomagnetic storms caused by activity on the Sun.
