EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in all its ethereal glory, this breathtaking photograph showcases the majestic Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) illuminating the snow-covered beach of Flakstad on the Lofoten Islands, situated within the Arctic Circle. The scene is set against a backdrop of rugged coastline and turbulent seas, where surfers from around the world converge to ride the extreme waves in sub-zero temperatures.
On this particular night, March 14th, 2016, photographer Olivier Morin captured this stunning moment as the aurora borealis danced across the sky. The vibrant display of green and purple hues casts an otherworldly glow over the frozen landscape, while surfers brave the unforgiving conditions to catch a glimpse of this natural phenomenon.
The Lofoten Islands are renowned for their dramatic landscapes and challenging surfing conditions. Surfers must contend with icy waters ranging from 5-6°C and air temperatures hovering around 0°C amidst unpredictable weather patterns. Despite these harsh conditions, thrill-seekers flock to this remote location to experience some of the most intense surfing adventures on earth.
Morin's photograph not only captures a rare celestial event but also pays tribute to those who dare to push their limits in one of nature's most unforgiving environments.
