This winter, the Aurora Borealis, otherwise known as the Northern Lights, is to become a greater spectacle than ever due to a recent increase in solar activity. This increase has lead to the Northern Lights gracing the skies as far south as Denmark and Germany.
In Iceland, the beautiful experience of the Aurora Borealis can be viewed amongst some of the most spectacular landscape, making the island in Atlantic the perfect place to visit. Also, due to the countries location on the cusp of the Arctic Circle, sightings between September and March are extremely frequent. Luckily for UK travellers, this winter Icelandair is providing an affordable way to see this natural wonder with its Northern Lights City Break.

Iryna Yermolova’s educational background encompasses two absolutely diametrically opposed educational strands, one in graphic-design and the other as an economist. Even if the artist dealt a lot with art over a prolonged period of time, it was really only computer-based graphic design work. Painting entered her life when she moved to England and the artist feels that in many ways this shift was crucial in changing her artistic outlook as well as elements within her own person, which paved the way for her journey as a full time painter.
Yermolova is hugely stirred by the beauty of the English countryside, yet she equally draws a lot of inspiration for her paintings from her Russian roots, childhood in the Ukraine as well as Orthodox religion. The power and sadness of Russian icons has always deeply touches the artist. Experimenting with colours, textures and different materials all brings her enormous pleasure and inspiration.
