APOD:Aurora and Unusual Clouds Over Iceland

The aurora and lenticular clouds form an amazingly vivid image. Taken on a cold winter night in Iceland. You can see towards the left, bright green auroras appear to emanate from the largest glacier in Iceland: Vatnajokull. Aurora light is reflectected off the lake Jökulsárlón. Green light emitted from another aurora behind touches the lenticular clouds.Far beyond the lenticular is the setting Moon, while far beyond even the Moon are setting stars.
