Forked Tongue

Aurora lights the sky above Fardagafoss in eastern Iceland.

An unusually clear night in October means that it's well below freezing but we aren't troubled by clouds. Even though we weren't in a dark sky area (it was a Bortle¹ 4) we could still see lots of stars.

This lovely display lasted for almost two hours.

A colour photo of green aurora across a dark sky filled with stars. The loops of vivid green begin at the centre left of the photo and continue across in three main arcs, a strong bright one fading near the centre of the shot, another containing standing bars is dipping down to the horizon and one loop of light at the right of centre has two beams rising from it, reminiscent of the forked tongue of a snake. In the lower right quarter is more diffuse green aurora. The horizon is a silhouette of a hillside, some trees and a power pylon are highlighted by aurora behind them.
