Where the Earth Breathes — Iceland Volcanic Fissure Eruption Under Aurora Borealis at Night

Two of the most extraordinary natural phenomena on earth are happening simultaneously in this image. Below — molten rock from the interior of the planet erupting through a crack in the earth's surface at 1200 degrees Celsius creating new land in real time. Above — charged particles from the sun colliding with molecules in the upper atmosphere and releasing their energy as visible green light. One phenomenon from the interior of the earth. One from ninety three million miles away in space. Both visible from the same spot on the surface at the same moment. The earth breathing fire while the sun paints the sky. No human has ever created anything remotely as extraordinary as this accidental combination. 🌋🌌
