✔ TOUR ON SCHEDULE | at 22:00

Report from Elding: The night started out with a fair amount of clouds scattered throughout the night sky. But as time passed by, so did the clouds, breaking apart enough to let not only stars shine through, but also a band of green northern lights above mountain Esja. They appeared very bright for just a minute but fainted away just after around 5 minutes. Then they teased us for a bit, coming and going. Our patience paid off though, as shortly before midnight they lit up in a bright curtain! When we thought it could not get any better, we were caught by surprise when the lights suddenly grew more intense and multiplied in flickering arches around the moon! After this 'chin-dropping finale', everyone onboard was cracking a smile as we headed back to the harbour. This tour was definitely worth the ride!
