After the all-important maintenance of oil platforms, it is considered an honor to shoot off the flare to ignite the gas streaming out. This worker in the North Sea made the perfect shot. Stein Ivar Vangberg, who recorded the event, said flaring is only temporary, due to environmental regulations: “We don’t want to burn our product, we sell it.” Credit: YouTube/Stein Ivar Vangberg
