“I had to make a decision to either take the picture or enjoy the subject, capturing it in my mind,” she said.
Photographer Cari Letelier -based in Chile- took advantage of Iceland’s position, just a few degrees below the Arctic Circle, to capture vivid images of the Northern Lights as it traversed the skies over waterfalls, frozen expanses and the Arctic Henge, which as giant sundial is located in Raufarhöfn, one of the most remote villages in the country.
Letelier had visited Iceland in 2019, but was not lucky enough to encounter the natural phenomena. “It was so cloudy and snowing so much and I said to myself ‘I have to go back and capture (with my lens) this part of the Northern Lights,'” he said.

This time, learning that a solar flare was about to occur that would possibly cause the phenomenon, she and a colleague traveled seven hours from the southern part of the island looking for spots to aim their lenses, and took some incredible photos.
“I had to make a decision to either take the picture or enjoy the subject by capturing it in my mind. “Since I wanted to do both, I programmed my camera for a timelapse while observing the sky,” he confessed.
