Details:
Today with the arrival of the high speed solar wind stream from the trans-equatorial coronal hole, meaning possibilities of bright and powerful auroras, all my expectations were slowed down by the terrible weather forecasts.
I decided nevertheless to drive all the way from Inari to Nuorgam (the northernmost point of Finland) where the sky would be only half-cloudy. This proved to be a good decision!
Then on the way back, about 20km before Inari, after driving 50km inside a snow storm, I could suddenly see some stars and stopped. The aurora danced high and bright in the sky for a few minutes, before snow started falling again (the photo in portrait format).
So, another successful night in the Arctic!
