Photographer Terje Sorgjerd braved -25 degree Celsius (-15 F) temperatures to capture this mesmerizing collection of photographs. Then, by assembling the 22,000 photos, he created a time-lapse video of the rich color and dynamic shapes of the Northern Lights that would normally be difficult to see. Adding the atmospheric Hans Zimmer/Lisa Gerrard song “Now We Are Free” from the movie Gladiator to the mix, and Sorgjerd has created a masterpiece.
BIG PIC: Iceland Volcano Erupts With Stunning Aurora Backdrop
Having lived on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard (high in the Arctic circle) for 5 months, I had first-hand knowledge of trying to photograph the aurora erupting above my head, with limited results. Mild frostbite and many blurred photos later, I returned to my research rather than taking up sub-zero photography professionally. I have the utmost respect for what Sorgjerd has achieved here.
