Report from Eldey: This evening we were in for a treat! After yesterday's amazing display and with tonight's forecast, we left the harbour very optimistic! We waited exactly zero seconds before seeing our first northern lights! There was a large green arch that stretched over our entire left side. From Esja and out to sea. This arc would stay in the sky for the entire tour! Dancing and joining with other arcs of auroras every now and then. The colours were amazing, we saw not only green but also purple and even some red! The northern lights stayed in the sky for the full tour and towards the end when we unfortunately had to head back to harbour, there were 4 separate arcs dancing across the sky and growing stronger! We all definitely watched the skies still on our way home! An absolutely magical evening!
