Once In A Lifetime Glimpse Of The Aurora and Volcano in Iceland

The Photography of James Appleton is for sure on my list of top 10 favorites. He travels the world capturing the most stunning photos of natures beauty. Seeing the world through his eyes makes you forget for a second about all that is wrong in the world. It takes you for a moment in time to some of the most divine places on earth.

This Photograph below is by far one of my favorite. I am using this photo for educational purposes which constitutes fair use but it will be removed if requested by the owner.

Try pronouncing the name of this volcano, let me know what you come up with!

Big Solar Storm Means Chance to See Northern Lights in Pennsylvania

The forecast from the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks shows the areas that have the best chance of seeing northern lights high overhead in green and white. The solid green line shows how far south the northern lights might be able to be seen.

Forecast: Auroral activity will be high(++). Weather permitting, highly active auroral displays will be visible overhead from Inuvik, Yellowknife, Rankin and Igaluit, to Portland OR, Cheyenne, Lincoln, Springfield, and New York City, and visible low on the horizon as far south as Carson City, Oklahoma City, and Raleigh.
