Scary 'Face' Photographed in Aurora Borealis

It's not unusual to take photos of the Auroroa Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, but the photo above is definitely not like any other.

One of the most stunning natural wonders, many people travel long distances just to get a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

Tom Mackie braced the Iceland cold to be one of those lucky travelers to photograph the stunning scene. However, Mackie's photograph came out unlike any other Northern Lights photo you will ever see.

The photograph seen above appears to show a frightening face in the middle of the Aurora Borealis.

"This was the first time I'd ever seen something like this," said Mackie. "When you have a high solar activity like we did when we took this shot, you do get the reds which you can also see in this shot."

"This was something special, 50 percent of the local population of Iceland actually believe in trolls [according to a survey given in 1998] and this was something they were kind of amazed by."
