18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Aurora Borealis over Jökulsárlón lagoon, Iceland

We were fortunate to experience this beautiful display of Northern lights on our 2nd night in Iceland. The "aurora forecast" indicated that conditions were not favorable...but late at night we looked outside and saw some green flashes, so we jumped in our car and drove to the nearest dark spot.
