Aurora Borealis Reflecting in Meltwater Pools in in Iceland

Aurora Borealis Reflecting in Meltwater Pools

by Isabelle Orozco

Emerald ribbons of the aurora borealis stretch across a deep indigo sky, mirrored perfectly in scattered meltwater pools dotting a rugged moraine field. The ground is a mosaic of dark volcanic rock and patches of lingering snow, glistening under a faint, sweeping lighthouse beam that cuts through the darkness. Gentle snowflakes drift downward, catching the light as they land on the icy surface of the pools. The reflection doubles the celestial display, creating a seamless horizon where the earth meets the sky. Dark silhouettes of stones rise from the water's edge, their rough textures against the smooth, glassy surface of the reflections. One green streak from the lights above casts a sharp, linear highlight along the rim of the nearest pool.
