Details:
What a gorgeous last night this January in the Arctic for me! I was guiding a lovely Australian couple to chase the northern lights, and we got quite a treat!
For once, the weather was clear despite the forecast announced early clouds. We took advantage of the situation by setting up on Ukonjärvi, a frozen lake that faces north. A pale bow was already visible there above the northern horizon.
With a very weak Aurora forecast for this night, I did not have high hopes for a bright display, but how was I wrong! The bow grew higher in the sky, thicker and brighter, to the delight of my Australian guests.
After watching the Aurora dance in the sky for a couple of hours, we witnessed a breathtaking moonrise to the East, just at the "bottom" of the Aurora bow. Hours later I am still in awe of the show that we saw.
Finally, we moved to another location up a hill, where we saw the Aurora dance above lake Inari and its thousands of islands, as well as a nice shooting star!
What a night!
Time to go home in the morning, but I will be soon back for hopefully some more beautiful Aurora action.
