A shimmering aurora, resulting from magnetic activity on the Sun, provides a spectacular background to a dramatic eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano.
A dark cloud of ash at ground level can be seen to the left in this photograph, while there is bright red lava at the mouth of the volcano.
The eruption caused substantial disruption to international travel in the spring of 2010.
