A stunning image has captured the moment two of nature’s most amazing phenomena occurred side-by-side.

Iceland’s volcanic eruption wasn’t the only spectacular event to light up the sky last night, as the Northern Lights also put on an incredible display for passengers on a delayed flight out of the country. 

Sophie Molloy, 21, who was travelling back to Manchester after a short holiday with her parents, was lucky enough to see the remarkable occurence and capture a once-in-a-lifetime photo on her phone.

The Lancaster University student said she and her family had only been in Iceland for a two-day break before heading home on Monday. ‘We definitely got more than we bargained for!’ she told MailOnline.

She shared the breathtaking photographs taken during the flight, and said everyone on the easyJet flight got a chance to enjoy the beautiful scene.
