Kristin Jonsdottir, 27, lives on a farm near the fjord of Borgarfjorour, which she said is the perfect place to take pictures of the aurora borealis because of a lack of light pollution.
Ms Jonsdottir said she had to practice taking pictures of the Northern Lights for a number of years as the light levels of the aurora change rapidly.

She said: "When shooting impressive solar storms I am usually in bed when they appear but then I look outside my window and see the lights everywhere.
"I have to run outside with my camera very quickly. Usually the lights never last long but that night they danced in the skies for hours it was magical.
"I've seen the lights many times and they are always wonderful but this night was like a dream."
