Stunning footage reveals the clash of two forces of nature – the glittering northern lights and the furious flames of a raging wildfire.

Time-lapse footage from the Yukon in Canada – a tiny, sparsely populated mountainous territory – displays the stunning dance of the green and yellow aurora borealis in the sky.

Just across the water from the peaceful scene is a raging wildfire in the Windy Arm mountains sending red smoke into the green sky and lighting up the atmosphere with white flashes of heat from the inferno.

The spectacular display was filmed by mountain hiker Jason Gendron and shared online where it has racked up nearly 3,000 views. 

He stayed up all night to film the mesmerizing footage uploaded on Tuesday.

The time-lapse sees the green aurora and the red flames battle to dominate the skies, as clouds of menacing smoke hover over placid Lake Tagish. 

The fire is seen perilously crawling up the mountain, covering it with bright  and vicious flames.  

Just above the battle of green and red light, a purple sky filled with stars can be seen.

The Windy Arm fire raged for days, reaching 24,000 hectares in size, but is not a threat to communities as it burns in the wildness, according to CKRW.

However its smoke smothered the surrounding region.
