EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magical convergence of two extraordinary natural phenomena in one breathtaking frame. The ethereal dance of the Northern lights, also known as Aurora Borealis, illuminates the night sky above the snow-covered beach of Unstad on Lofoten Island, located within the Arctic Circle in Norway. On March 10,2016, this picturesque scene witnessed a unique spectacle that attracted surfers from all corners of the globe. Despite extreme conditions and unpredictable weather patterns with air temperatures hovering around freezing point and ocean temperatures ranging between 5-6°C (41-43°F), thrill-seeking surfers flock to Lofoten island for an adrenaline-pumping experience like no other. This remote paradise offers intrepid wave riders an opportunity to challenge themselves against nature's raw power amidst stunning surroundings. The juxtaposition of icy waves crashing against a frozen coastline under a vibrant celestial light show creates an awe-inspiring visual feast. Olivier Morin's lens perfectly encapsulates both the serenity and exhilaration experienced by those who dare to ride these frigid waters. This photograph serves as a testament to human resilience and our unyielding desire for adventure even in some of Earth's harshest environments. It reminds us that there are still untouched frontiers waiting to be explored, where man can harmoniously coexist with nature's wonders while pushing boundaries and embracing life-affirming thrills.
