アイスランドの壮大な風景を早送りで捉えた動画と言えば、2012年に公開された動画がよく知られているかもしれない。だが、アイスランドに降り注ぐオーロラを撮影した冒頭の新しい動画は、さらにすばらしくないだろうか？
この早送り動画は、「Ozzo Photography」のオリ・ハウク・ミラディ氏が2014年の冬に撮影したものだ。ミラディ氏はアイスランド生まれで、今もその地に住む、フリーランスの写真家兼デザイナーだ。
アイスランドを、まるでSFにでも出てくるような不思議な世界に仕立てたこの作品を見ると、すぐにでも飛行機に飛び乗って、空が溶け出すような世界に浸りたいと思うかもしれない。
ミラディ氏が撮影したオーロラの見事な写真を、以下でいくつかご紹介しよう。Ozzo Photographyのサイトでは、さらに多くの作品を見ることができる。また、ギャラリーでは、アメリカ人の写真家ラリー・ガーブランドがアイスランドで撮影したオーロラも紹介している。

A multi-hued aurora seen in Iceland. Neon green lights reflect in the freezing waters of southern Iceland in some of the clearest snaps of the aurora borealis ever taken. Media analyst Larry Gerbrandt, 60, captured the breathtaking naturally occurring phenomenon with state-of-the-art equipment last month. Larry, from San Juan Bautista, California, braved temperatures of minus 20 degrees and icy winds of up to 40 miles per hour during the expedition. (credit: Larry Gerbrandt/Barcroft USA)
