NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Report from Hafsulan: With some gaps in the clouds mixed with a bit of drizzle, and a Kp index of 3, we bundled up and headed out. First we admired the city lights as we left the harbor, and stopped at the Imagine Peace Tower, which is always a sight to behold up close as the lights glitter off of the water. We then went looking for the gaps in the clouds. We could find gaps in the clouds and even were able to see the stars up above. We then waited and hoped that the gaps would widen and the lights would appear. Unfortunately, we were not graced with the auroras this evening, and so we handed out complimentary tickets to try our luck again another evening.
