NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00
Report from Eldey: Tonight as we sailed out of the harbour, there were a few light clouds in the sky but plenty of gaps so we were hopeful for the night. As the late sun set, we started our hunt. We didn't have to wait too long before the first northern lights started to peak through the clouds. They were faint at first and unfortunately only lasted a short time. We continued to wait, hoping they would appear again. On our way back in to the harbour, we spotted another faint arch that grew a little stronger. We were able to see this long green arch with our naked eyes as well! The arch became 2 and they went to different directions. After a while, it also started to fade again and we continued our journey in towards the harbour.

Few natural phenomena are as mesmerising as the aurora borealis. These shifting curtains of colour sweep across the polar skies, painting them in hues of green, pink, and violet. While their appearance may seem unpredictable, scientists have developed ways to understand when and where they might occur and by studying the activity levels, we can estimate the likelihood of seeing them.
