SPANISH teenager Horacio Llorens has described paragliding alongside the Northern Lights in Norway as like"flying into a dream".

Llorens (14) braved temperatures of -15C in Trømso, Norway, before donning a wetsuit and battery-heated gloves and taking to the skies.

"Thousands of years ago, people looked up and saw the Northern Lights, and thought they were magic," he said.

"It feels like clouds are in front of you, 500m away, but in reality they're 15,000m over your head."

"In my opinion, the northern lights are something incredible. I could not believe that it could move so fast, wave and change the color. It was totally unreal. It was like flying into a dream.”
