Details:
We had a crowd-pleasing showing of Northern Lights on October 16 despite the Kp of only 1 or 2, from our position at sea in the Norwegian Sea north of Tromsø, Norway at a latitude of 70° North. This was on one of the Hurtigruten ferry ships, the ms Trollfjord, that ply the coast of Norway. While the ship is a ferry delivering people, cars and cargo along the coast, the majority of passengers are tourists sailing the coast for the spectacular scenery by day and the aurora borealis by night. About 10 pm this night the aurora brightened in a display that arced overhead and spanned the sky. We saw some nitrogen pink fringes at times when the aurora got active and danced under perfectly clear skies. Moonlight illuminated the snow-capped peaks. It was a spectacular scene.
