I was lit with excitement flying to Tromso, Norway, 350km north of the Arctic Circle, to chase the Aurora Borealis, aka Northern Lights. The adventure of chasing them in the Arctic Circle was irresistible. Each night I would head North with my tour guides “Marianne’s Heaven on Earth Aurora Chaser Tours, a remarkable woman with burning passion for the Aurora. Her and Govind were a great team. With a small group of seekers, we drove hours searching for openings in the cloudy skies. We were successful every night. Sometimes we drove deep into Finland to spend hours in freezing temperatures. I wore 5 layers of thermal clothes and comfortably hung around with others from all over the world, until 3 or 4 am. It was an exhilarating quest. The hot soup and hot chocolates were delicious and the green, blue and orange campfire, magical. , , , ,
