The sunspot that exploded was poetically dubbed &#8220;dead&#8221; because it had recently erupted and become part of a quiet solar patch. Even so, as those solar particles interacted with Earth&#8217;s magnetic field lines, air molecules high up in the atmosphere were excited, producing the incredible sky show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/northern-lights-rocket-launch\"><u><strong>NASA set to launch 2 rockets into the northern lights<\/strong><\/u><\/a>&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/auroral-storm-peeks-through-clouds-iceland?utm_source=SmartBrief&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=368B3745-DDE0-4A69-A2E8-62503D85375D&amp;utm_content=3636CC8B-CA70-4F41-8473-11B6564E6483&amp;utm_term=b37e7213-a043-4a78-8859-d179a9ad6880\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Todd Salat captured auroras over Go\u00f0afoss waterfall in northern Iceland on April 14, 2022.&nbsp;(Image credit: Todd Salat\/AuroraHunter.com)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AuroraHunter\/posts\/511836023831906\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, Salat told viewers that this was the first time he had seen auroras of this magnitude during a planned two-week trip to Iceland, from his hometown of Anchorage, Alaska. It was Salat&#8217;s ninth night in Iceland, and he had only seen glimpses of the northern lights before this. Then the weather forecast turned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I broke camp earlier in the day in light rain, and the weather forecast was for clouds and scattered showers for all of Iceland for the entire week. I had told myself not to take that forecast to heart because it can [be] so demoralizing,&#8221; Salat said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While he was tempted to &#8220;put the aurora cameras away,&#8221; during a drive he stumbled upon the waterfall. He was taking some test shots when he spotted a glow between the clouds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I picked up my pace, and when I saw a spike develop, I broke into an all-out sprint until my lungs burned to get into position for this composition. Boom, at 11:47 pm, perhaps the best aurora shot of the trip up to that point went into the game bag, and I was ecstatic.&#8221;RELATED STORIES<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/first-ball-lightning-sighting-in-england\">1st sighting of &#8216;ball lightning&#8217; in England uncovered<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/wandering-aurora-laschamp-event\">41,000 years ago, auroras blazed near the equator<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/alien-aurora-radio-waves\">&#8216;Powerful auroras&#8217; on alien planets may be sending strange radio signals toward Earth<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salat witnessed the clouds temporarily seal the view, but around 2 a.m. local time, they opened up again briefly, allowing him to take a few more shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been on a lot of aurora hunts in life, but I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve ever &#8216;worked&#8217; so hard to get the shots as I have for these,&#8221; he continued on Facebook. &#8220;I&#8217;m 3,336 miles [5,369 km] from my home in Anchorage, Alaska and living in a campervan.
