Details:
The night the Geldingadalur volcano erupted last week, I began scouting locations for this shot. Unfortunately, cloud cover spoiled the weekend auroras here.
It was a huge disappointment.
Last night as the skies darkened, an unexpected snow squall appeared, blotting out the sky and even the eruption itself. Another heartbreaker - until the skies cleared just before midnight. When they did, the aurora promptly lit off over the volcano.
It was a magical sight, and one I took especially to heart because it happened to be my birthday!
Canon 6D Mk.1 body at ISO 1000, Sigma Art 24mm prime at f/2.2, exposure 4 seconds.
