People of Reykjavik were treated to a spectacular show of Northern Lights last night who danced across the sky to form celestial roads of green.  

Crowds of tourists could be seen out on the streets around midnight staring into the sky, notably along the Sæbraut street which runs along the oceanfront in the city centre. 

The skies last night were clear and the stars bright and visible. 

Our photographer Golli was walking his dog in the Laugarnes district of Reykjavik last night and captured these two images on his mobile phone.
