Bulgarian astrophotographer Radoslav Sviretsov captured an award-winning image of the Northern Lights during a January trip to Iceland. Told organizers it was a "particularly strong" geomagnetic storm, Sviretsov sought out the aurora borealis at a "particularly dark" location away from light pollution. He described the resulting photograph as "rarely seen" given the strong solar activity and dark sky.
In a statement, Sviretsov expressed gratitude for being in the right place at the right time to capture the awe-inspiring moment.
