Legends collide in this dramatic vista of land, sea, and sky. The land is Iceland, specifically V�k � M�rdal, a southern village known for its beautiful black sand beaches. The sea, the Atlantic Ocean, surrounds Reynisdrangar, a sea stack of eroded basaltic rock pillars that Icelandic folklore tells are the petrified remains of trolls once attempting to drag a three-masted ship onto land. Watching from overhead and shining bright on the upper right is the god of the sky, according to Greek mythology: the planet Jupiter. Also visible in the sky are several other Greek legends encapsulated as constellations, including a lion (Leo), a big bear (Ursa Major), and a water snake (Hydra). One might guess that all of this commotion caused the spectacular aurora pictured — but really it was just explosions from the Sun.

🌌 傳說交織於這幅壯觀的土地、海洋和天空之景。在冰島的Vík í Mýrdal，這個以美麗黑沙灘聞名的南部小村莊，地景展現了獨特的魅力。環繞著雷尼斯德朗加（Reynisdrangar）的海洋是大西洋，這些由侵蝕而成的玄武岩岩柱據說是冰島民間傳說中石化的巨魔，曾試圖將一艘三桅帆船拖上岸。
在右上角，根據希臘神話，天空之神木星（Jupiter）高高在上，照耀著整個景象。天空中還可見幾個其他希臘傳說中的星座，包括獅子（Leo）、大熊（Ursa Major）和水蛇（Hydra）。或許大家對這番美景的壯觀感到懷疑，認為全是由傳說中的騷動引起的，但實際上，這一切只是來自太陽的爆炸所帶來的壯麗極光。
