Northern Lights over Jökulsárlón - The Glacier Lagoon, Iceland - Timelapse 4K

Описание: If there is a place, most photographers wish to capture Northern lights, it surely must be Jökulsárlón - the Glacier Lagoon in Iceland. Very special location to visit any time of the day or year, especially when there are giant icebergs flowing into the ocean (which is not necessarily all the time). Imagine the best conditions for Northern Lights - clear sky with millions of stars reflected on perfectly mirror like surface of the lagoon, no wind, temperature just below freezing, then you get I what I got last time around. This timelapse doesnt capture only Glacier Lagoon area but also another iconic southern location - seaside along Vík í Mýrdal and Reynisdrangar - its famous Basalt sea stacks.

No single #NorthernLights photo does true justice to what is happening on the sky during those unique moments when Northern Lights appear. Capturing Northern Lights - #Aurora Borealis can be extremely demanding on its own, however trying to capture enough footage/photos for just few seconds of video takes the dedication and exhaustion from hardly any sleep and days/night outside in a cold to a very new level.

In Norse mythology the Valkyries (immortal, war-like virgins) would come galloping across the night sky upon their horses equipped with helmets, spears and armor that would glow and shimmer in the darkness. These lights, colored red, blue, violet and green, would spread in curtains from horizon to horizon, amazing the mortals below. This is how the Vikings explained a phenomenon we now call the aurora borealis, or the Northern Lights. Different societies have explained the phenomenon in diverse ways. The Alaskan Inuits thought of the lights as the souls of deer, seals, salmon and whales that they hunted. The Menominee Indians in North America thought the glow must be the torches of giants that lived in the North.
