A bright green dragon emerging from a stunning display of the Northern Lights has been captured in a beautiful photograph taken in Iceland.

The image, shared online by NASA, shows the photographer's mother standing on snow-covered ground looking up at the mythological creature.  

The fluorescent green light seems to depict the entire body of a dragon that expands to fill the sky, with its wings fanning out on either side.  

The Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, are created by electrically charged particles from the sun hitting the Earth's atmosphere.
