An incredible Northern Lights time-lapse video, using found footage taken aboard the NASA International Space Station, has sparked massive interest for viewing the Aurora in Iceland.
The video edited by Michael Konig, taken from images captured by the Expedition 28 and Expedition 29 crews aboard the NASA International Space Station, shows breathtaking explosions of red and green Auroras filling the Earth’s atmosphere, over shadowing the city lights below. The footage covers the journey of the manned satellite during 18 different passes over various parts throughout a three-month period.
These incredible images have sparked a huge interest for spotting the Northern Lights in Iceland this winter. Due to the country’s location on the cusp of the Arctic Circle, the island in the Atlantic is the perfect viewing location the see one of Mother Nature’s greatest spectacles.
