NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Report from Eldey: With a predicted high cloud cover tonight, the chances of seeing the northern lights tonight did not look too good on paper. However, in reality there were few clouds and we could see most of the sky. As there was a high activity on the kp-index, we were quite optimistic to see the green lights. And indeed, after only 15 minutes away from the harbour, we already saw a great show of the northern lights. They were moving, taking on all sorts of shapes above our heads. The activity decreased after a while and we had to be patient but towards the end of the tour we were again rewarded by long bands of green decorating the night skies. A very nice night, and how lucky we were to experience this natural phenomenon.
