Esta fotografía nos muestra el monte Elbrus, un volcán dormido y el pico más alto al norte del Cáucaso, así como de toda Europa, en un extraño momento en el que la Vía Láctea se encuentra verticalmente alineada con los vértices del volcán, creando la ilusión de una erupción de estrellas volcánicas.

In 2014, this won first place in the National Geographic Russia Wild Nature contest. Elbrus is a sleeping volcano, the highest peak in the North Caucasus, as well as throughout Europe, at 5642m. I filmed a rare moment when this point of the Milky Way stands vertically on its vertices, and creates the illusion of an eruption of volcanic stars. I think this is, to some extent, symbolic!
The beauty of the night sky, Russia
The beautiful colouring of the night sky from a high altitude is almost beyond belief.
