Aurora and Unusual Clouds Over Iceland

I got the APOD from this link: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap131118.html

This APOD is a photograph of the largest glacier in Iceland, Vatnajokull, with bright green auroras behind it. The light from the auroras is reflected onto the lake. On the right there is a lenticular cloud and above it iridescent lenticular clouds in a range of colors. The Moon and the stars in the background complete this beautiful image. I think that this combination of space phenomenon and Earth's nature is breathtakingly beautiful.
