Watch | Paraglider soars beneath Norway’s Northern Lights

One of the world's top acrobatic paragliders, Horacio Llorens, recently fulfilled a life dream by flying under the Northern Lights skies in Norway.

In a video from Red Bull's media department Llorens, 33, can be see preparing his equipment at dusk in Tromso, then soaring beneath the Aurora Borealis as his friends cheer him on.

The footage was collected between January 5-15 and Red Bull described it as a successful but challenging attempt. Lloren had to overcome snow storms, low visibility, and frozen wires, Red Bull said, in temperatures far below freezing.

The Spaniard Llorens is a Guinness World Record holder for the most continuous loops while paragliding: 568 spins.
