Daze of the week: A glittering gallery of Northern Lights from the past seven days (thanks to biggest solar storms in six years)

By NICK ENOCH

The Northern Lights were captured on camera this week in Southern Iceland

Over the past week, fantastic displays of the Northern Lights have occurred in Norway, Iceland... and even the UK.
The spectacular shows in the night sky were due to the biggest solar storm in more than six years, which bombarded Earth with radiation.
Here, we present some of the best images taken of the lights, known as the aurora borealis,
