An easyJet pilot made a 360-degree turn over the ocean on Monday night (27 February) in a bid to ensure all passengers were treated to an “incredible” view of the Northern Lights.

The aircraft, which was flying from Reykjavik, Iceland, to Manchester Airport, got a bird’s eye view of the incredible natural phenomenon which was visible in the night sky due to “transitory cloud breaks”.
