Northern lights and molten lava come together in landscape that could be out of this world


With their vivid colours and alien landscapes, these pictures look like they could be of another world.

They capture two of nature’s most spectacular sights - the northern lights and an erupting volcano in Iceland - in a single shot.

Photographer James Appleton from Cambridge braved the mighty flames of the Fimmvorduhals volcano and the frozen bite of the harsh Icelandic winter – and was rewarded with these incredibly rare shots

He has spent the past seven years capturing the volatile and stunning landscapes of Iceland, and when he was told the Fimmvvrpuhals volcano was erupting, he immediately knew he had to see it.

Working alongside vulcanologists, Mr Appleton, 25, got within a few hundred feet of the erupting volcano to get the perfect shot.
