Iceland and the Northern Lights

The aurora borealis, or Northern Lights, can frequently be seen in Iceland. 

They have inspired numerous great artists, including Wordsworth:

In sleep I heard the northern gleams;

The stars, they were among my dreams;

In rustling conflict through the skies,

I heard, I saw the flashes drive,

And yet they are upon my eyes,

And yet I am alive;

Before I see another day,

Oh let my body die away!

And, of course, a Flock of Seagulls:

A cloud appears above your head;
A beam of light comes shining down on you,
Shining down on you.
The cloud is moving nearer still.
Aurora borealis comes in view;
Aurora comes in view.
