An Australian student didn't realise she had photographed rare dragon-shaped Northern Lights until she had returned home from her Iceland holiday.
Jingyi Tia Zhang, from Perth, took a dazzling photo of her mother gazing up at the spectacular Aurora Borealis near Gullfoss in the country's south-west.
The picture shows an aurora that forms a lizard-like head with a furrowed brow and a menacing mouth and snout blowing purple fire and smoke.
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 in an image that was shared by NASA.
