A man put on a show with his violin during a northern lights display in Iceland.

Footage shows the man playing "Once upon a time in the West" by Ennio Morricone on his violin whilst the northern lights glow in the background.

The filmer later wrote online: ''When I go hunt the northern lights in Iceland I take along my violin and occasionally play a few strings.

''The aurora borealis had been very intense an hour earlier, now it was getting weaker, fainter. I grabbed my violin and played a few melodies.''

The clip was filmed on October 7, 2018, Starmýri.

When I go hunt the northern lights in Iceland I take along my violin and occasionnally play a few strings... this was in the evening of october 7, 2018 in eastern Iceland near Starmýri 2a cottages. The aurora had been very intense an hour earlier, now it was getting weaker , fainter. I got in the mood of humming the music of 'Once Upon A Time in the West' by Ennio Morricone. So I grabbed my violin and played a few melodies.... I guess we should call it 'Once Upon a Time in the East of Iceland' hahaha ... It was cold , fingers starting to freeze... and yes, I need to practice more... a lot more... but I hope you still like it. Edited.
