"Sloping Glacier"

Fláajökull with Vatnajökull behind it, under a canopy of #AuroraBorealis and stars.

Höfn in Hornafjörður, south-eastern #Iceland is a recognised dark sky area.

On the left is Corona Borealis (Northern Crown) next to Boötes (Ploughman) and part of Ursa Major (Big Dipper/Plough) is at the top right.

I use a longer exposure on my #NorthernLights shots, as it captures more starlight. This is 8 seconds.

A night scene of browned grassland and a line of mountains. Between them, the folds of a wrinkled glacier drop to ground level. Above them is a clear sky with a few small clouds and lots of stars. Just above the tops of the glacier are swirls and ripples of soft yellowish green, curling and streaming across the sky to disappear at the centre right of the photo. The colour of the aurora is reflected in puddles and pools.
