According to EarthTouch News Network, the beautiful scenes were filmed by Norwegian cameraman Harald Albrigtsen, who works for the Norwegian media company NRK.

Albrigtsen was testing out a new low-light conditions camera when he spotted the combination.

The cameraman told local news: "After a few hours I was about to give up.

"But then they turned up again. I did not even know if everything was in focus ... It was like a dream."

Parts of Wales and Northern England were treated to the spectacular sight of the Northern Lights this week.

Forecasters predict the phenomenon, dubbed Aurora Borealis, will be visible across a number of cities including Manchester and Leeds over the coming weeks.
