The Northern Lights can pose danger if one only looks up towards the night sky.

 A tourist has first and second degrees burns from the toes to the thigh after stepping into a hot spring whilst observing Northern Lights in the night sky in Hveradalir, South Iceland.

The tourist was travelling with a group in an organised Northern Lights trip with a coach. The man had stepped off the walking path and stepped into the hot spring. 

He was sent to hospital in Reykjavik where he is recovering.
