18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
The Aurora Over Djúpalónssandur Beach

I drove 6 hours after hiking all day in the north of Iceland to find the clearest skies for the Aurora Borealis. 4 hours I spent photographing this night, with sounds of the winter winds brushing the Icelandic coastline below, with a sky-wide aurora above.
