NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00
Report from Eldey: We experienced a kp-index of 4 out of 9 tonight, even though most websites only predicted a kp of 2. We saw the northern lights right in the beginning - first very light, difficult to observe with our eyes since we were still close to the lights of the city. Light clouds were hiding parts of the sky and suppressing the brightness of the lights, so we had to be patient to see more of the auroras. Our patience was rewarded with a clear sky showing some beautiful and strong northern lights, first in the shape of an arch going behind mountain Esja, then in the east and above our heads. The lights faded for a while, but when came back even stronger. They were everywhere around us, taking on different shapes, dancing in the sky, mesmerising us with their green brightness and beauty - a truly unforgettable night. That wasn´t even the end of it: as we started to make our way back, the lights became even stronger, completely covering the sky with bright green lines and hints of pink. How lucky we were to experience this miracle of nature.
