"The first time I saw the Aurora my stomach churned like a thousand butterflies," writes The Film Artist on his Vimeo page. He travelled to Iceland with fellow filmmaker Henry Jun Wah Lee to document the Northern Lights at Borgarfjörður. As the winter months prove to be the most popular time for tourists to see the incredible light display, stunning time-lapse videos will have to suffice for those of us who won't make the journey.
