Hikers in the storm

It was already late during Herbert's shift to watch the sky for the Northern Lights. But finally, that green light appeared and we could enjoy this spectacular natural phenomenon. We were really happy to be so lucky in the first night of the hike!
During the night the wind did not slow down. The hut was shaked from the storm and the fireplace howled all night long so we had a restless sleep.
The next morning, the wind was even stronger and our hut was covered in a layer of ice. We decided to go back to sleep again after breakfast as it was just to cold outside with all the ice blown around by the wind. 2 hours later, the winds were still very strong, but at least the clouds had cleared a little. To me, today's hike is how I imagine an expedition to Antarctica 😂 luckily, it was only a 10km hike to the next hut. And as it was damn cold and we were tired of fighting side the winds, we didn't go any further, but lit the stove and cooked dinner instead.もっと詳しく
