Three of nature's hidden gems

Terje Sorgjerd, aka Mr. TSO, is a Norwegian landscape photographer who, in the last 6 months, has risked life and limb in order to capture some of nature's rarest phenomena to produce three sublime, reflective pieces.

Beginning with The Aurora, he spent a week chasing the northern lights from sunset to sunrise in his native Kirkenes and Pas National Park very close to Russia:

Next he moved to Spain's highest mountain, El Teide, and surviving off only ten hours sleep for a week, he managed to capture the a dazzling array of stars, in The Mountain. Look out for the golden clouds from 32 seconds in, when the Milky Way is seen through a surprise sandstorm that hit the area on one day of shooting:

His third work was again shot in Norway, this time in the archipelago Lofoten, and depicts what Terje nicknames 'The Arctic Light', during which a blurring of sunset and sunrise culminates in prolonged periods of light. At 1:06 you witness a shot from 9pm to 7am the next morning without darkness falling:
