Carina Letelier Baeza has captured an amazing photograph of a dragon-shaped aurora illuminating the skies above the Arctic Henge in Raufarhöfn village of Iceland, which took the internet by storm.
The image was surfaced on X (formerly Twitter), which attracted the eyeballs of the netizens globally, drawing both awe and admiration for the natural wonder.
The photograph, taken in Raufarhöfn, captures a breathtaking display of the Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, appearing in the sky as a vivid green dragon with its wings spread wide.
This phenomenon, known as pareidolia, happens when the human mind perceives familiar shapes in patterns, such as clouds or auroras.
Baeza’s photo beautifully showcases the enchanting Northern Lights along with the Arctic Henge, a modern monument inspired by ancient stone circles, highlighting both the natural beauty and cultural importance of the Arctic region.
