Tromsø Night 1

We arrived in Tromsø in the late afternoon on Sunday. The flight was so cool as we flew over mountains covered in snow. We settled into our hotel, grabbed some dinner and relaxed for a bit. At about 9:30 we then rugged up and decided to head out for some Northern Light hunting. As Tromsø is in the arctic circle in the far north, they are known for their lights and it is the main reason we came to visit. We did a 25 minute walk to lake Prestvannat which is supposed to be a good spot for lights as it’s uphill and there is less light pollution from the city. At about 10:30-11pm we started seeing glimpses and we got so excited. By 11pm we were seeing full lights! There were even red bits amongst the green, it was stunning. We walked out of the lake and then the lights became even more visible and strong, with a bit of movement. We were both so happy as this was our second time seeing them on the trip and some people never see them when travelling all this way. Luck must be with us and we really picked the right time!Read more
