The aurora forecast is moderately high tonight (4/9) and we are expecting scattered clouds. Final decision will be made around 17 or 18 o'clock.

Tour status: RUNNING

Sightings: We sailed out in cloudy conditions but with a promising forecast of good northern lights and sky that is meant to clear up over time. The clouds did look to be clearing a little and we could start to see star constellations like Cassiopia. Spirits lessened though when it started to rain and even hail, reducing the visibility again. Our passengers started to get disappointed but just a few minutes later the heavens opened up and the northern light shone. It was incredible just how quickily everything could change. With a bit of patience, a warm overall and a hot chocolate in hand, anything is possible.
