A breathtaking long-exposure photograph captures the snow-capped Teide volcano on Tenerife, Canary Islands, perfectly mirrored in a still lake. The night sky is ablaze with stars, creating concentric trails due to Earth's rotation. A brilliant Iridium satellite flare streaks across the frame, adding to the celestial spectacle. Polaris, the North Star, is visible above the volcano's peak. The image is a testament to the exceptional clarity of the Canary Islands' night sky.
