A great display of northern lights captured over a huge iceberg in the area of Uummannaq in north Greenland when the sea was frozen. The bright moon high in the sky was nicely lightening up the arctic landscape.
The icebergs are unpredictable and active all year. There is an enormous risk walking too close to them as it was a day after I took this photo a smaller iceberg nearby flipped upside down. The sea ice around them is typically weak and may not be able to keep a person on the surface.
I am a 28 year old photographer from Finland with a passion for the night skies and the polar regions. I choose to live in the small isolated communities in the arctic such as Greenland where I can fulfill my hobbies and explore the local culture.
