good morning!

we hope you enjoyed a good nights' sleep after our chase last night.

we had a wonderful evening leaving troms? and the rain behind and drove to the other side of the lyngen alps where our sky cleared up all of a sudden. we made our first stop at skibotn where the sky conditions were near perfect and had a great view over the lyngen alps. while we waited for lady aurora to show herself we enjoyed took some pictures with the landscape, moon and our shadows.

after a while we decided to move to another spot to change the scenery and get away from the wind. still there was no northern lights so we enjoyed our hot chocolate and the warmth of the bonfire while learning about the stars in the night sky and the animals of the region. finally at 11pm the green lady showed up to the party! we saw her bright and clear with our naked eye and quickly we took some pictures. once she faded a bit we moved back to skibotn to have a different angle and we saw a little bit more of her beauty before she decided to fade completely.

hermann and i have edited all the pictures and uploaded them to dropbox. you can access the pictures via the following link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m8yiaroy4gom9cy/aacwgfkgckljwglyo0xseniya?dl=0.

for those who are map geeks like myself, we have recreated our route on google maps so that you can see exactly where we went last night.

once again we would like to thank you for joining the tour. we had a great time getting to know you and showing you the beauty of arctic norway and the northern lights herself. please feel free to reply to this email if you have any questions or suggestions for improvement.

warmest regards, mick, hermann, pawel & the team at chasing lights

good morning!

i'm sure you are all catching up on some well deserved rest after yesterday's challenging chase. we had to drive a long way to find the best conditions, sadly even though we had really clear skies most of the night, the lady aurora kept very shy.

we took quite a few pictures last night and would like to share them with all of you. you can find them in the dropbox link below. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/oe5tacngy52xdga/aacpycupyizzisaewguxe0ika?dl=0

yesterday we drove south-east from troms? planning on driving far into finland because the weather forecast told us we would find the best conditions there. while we were driving we could already spot some gaps in the clouds and stars around but there was no activity so we kept on driving until we came closer to our "promised clear sky land". we made our first stop in the beautifully frozen tundra of finland near the unpronounceable area called iittovuoppio. clouds were changing fast and while we kept our eye out for any northern light activity we kept warm with some hot chocolate and entertained by hermann's vast knowledge of our night sky! after a while we received information from our colleagues that the skies behind us closer to the border were improving and even a little better than what we were experiencing. so without any delay we jumped back on the bus and drove closer towards the border again. when we made another stop in oikovuoppio where we indeed had a lot better conditions, we walked on the lake there and enjoyed a nice campfire. it seemed like the guest of honour was not showing up yesterday and we decided to start on our drive back. but while we were driving we kept a vigilant eye on the sky and had to make an emergency stop because she did decide to make an appearance! we were able to capture just a few pictures before she went away again. driving back we kept a close eye on the sky and our cameras but could see no more activity. if you want to see where we went, you can check out this route on google maps.

i want to thank you all for joining and hope you did enjoy your night out with us. hermann and i had a great time with all of you, sharing these beautiful locations out in the middle of the arctic nature under the moon and stars. we hope you enjoyed your night as well and we would like to ask you for your thoughts on the tour. please let us know if there is anything that you would do differently or would like to change to the tour to increase your experience on a night out with us. you can let us know simply by replying to this email.

thanks again for joining, enjoy the rest of your stay in troms? and safe travels.

good morning everyone!

i hope you are well rested after our chase last night!

the weather in troms? and around the coastal areas nearby was looking quite challenging, with snow and sleet falling all day. the weather forecast suggested that conditions would improve further inland, so to finland we went! we eventually found a nice spot on a frozen river, with a “golden gate” style bridge that crossed over into sweden. true arctic conditions and wind that was blowing the fresh powdered snow around brought quickly moving clouds, though eventually the sky above us and to our north cleared up quite nicely and we were able to spot constellations like cassiopeia and the big dipper, and even some shooting stars. “lady aurora” was quite shy tonight, but did give us a glimpse of her beauty as we were enjoying some hot chocolate. to see exactly where we went, check out our route on google maps.

as promised, here is the dropbox folder containing all the photos marius and i took last night :) you can download them all in full resolution by clicking the “download” button in the upper right-hand corner of your screen: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0q5eg1tpgasbad7/aacyzmks2obskfm3aqa4oeyza?dl=0

once again, i would like to thank you all for joining the chase, and for your smiles, sense of adventure, and positive attitudes. enjoy the rest of your stay in troms? and safe travels home. :)

hello everyone!

how are you today? hopefully well rested and full of excitement to further explore troms? and it's beautiful surroundings!

first things first, here is the link to the dropbox page, where you will find all of the pictures that hermann and i took during our night together. please, use the "download" button at the right upper corner to get them in the highest quality. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0fu1423v8048xjf/aacqvm9fvgoprvpmzr5j4qxxa?dl=0

our night started in snowy and overcast troms? and as soon as we had everyone onboard, we hit the road towards finland, for according to the forecast the weather conditions were supposed to be the best in that area. after a bit more than two hours of driving, we crossed into finland. the weather conditions vastly improved and started looking around for reindeer and a nice place to camp.

shortly upon passing kilpisj?rvi village, hermann had this idea to check out one quarry by the frozen lake and that turned out to be a really cool spot. we asked mykola to stop the bus there, got out and just waited for the northern lights to appear. they really tested our patience, but eventually showed up just after we lit up the campfire! we sure took a lot of pictures and enjoyed the display while it lasted.

even though they dimmed out after a while, we didn't give up and waited until midnight, before starting to head home leaving the finnish wilderness behind. what an exciting night!

here is the route of our chase on google maps.

we would really appreciate it, if you were to spend a minute or two and write a brief review on tripadvisor about our tour and us as your tour guides. that would help us to continue doing the job that we are really passionate about! :)

finally, thank you all for joining, being so excited and passionate about the lights and also mykola for driving us all the way to finland (and of course, back). have a nice holiday and see you again someday! :)

warmest regards, marius, hermann, driver mykola & the team at chasing lights

good morning!

hope you managed to get a well deserved rest after our chase last night. it was a long and challenging night, but we managed to enjoy the arctic wilderness and visit three countries in one night!

as promised, here is the link to the pictures i took during our chase. download them in high quality by clicking on the "download" button after clicking on the link below. i hope you enjoy them as much i enjoyed taking them. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mctgkok6en611yq/aac4pjd4mawi8r8vhxooml7aa?dl=0

we left troms? under a lot of snow and headed inland as the weather forecast promised the best conditions further east. the sky started improving as soon as we crossed the border with finland, but it wasn't until further east that we found the conditions we were looking for. the sky conditions were changing a lot throughout the night, so we had to move around quite a lot. the auroras were a bit shy and only came out shortly, but we managed to be in the right place at the right time to get a glimpse. even during our drive home we managed to see some stars and got to see the green lady a bit more. to see where we were just follow our route on google maps.

thanks a lot for having joined us. i hope you had a great time in the beautiful finnish tundra. if there is anything we could have done to improve your experience please let us know by replying directly to this email.

enjoy the rest of your stay in the arctic and we hope to see you again.

warmest regards, hermann, jonas, mykola & the team at chasing lights
