Kirkjufellsfoss and Kirkjufell Aurora, Iceland

Aperture

Shutter

ISO

Kirkjufell is an iconic mountain in western Iceland that has been photographed thousands of times. I had been there several times during the summer over the last decade, but had long dreamed of capturing the aurora above Kirkjufell during winter.

I returned there in February 2025 and was fortunate to have a mostly clear night with aurora dancing above during my stay. Having tried various compositions with Kirkjufellsfoss in the foreground during previous visits, I decided that this composition with the upper falls of Kirkjufellsfoss in the foreground was the best.

Again, fortunately, none of the many other photographers taking photos this night chose this spot for this composition. It was a wonderful night to fulfil a dream.
