What are the northern lights? The bright dancing lights of the aurora are actually collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter earth's atmosphere. The temperature above the sun surface is millions of degrees Celsius. At this temperature, collisions between gas molecules are frequent and explosive particles enter the earth's atmosphere.

NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 22:00

Report from Eldey: Our first northern lights cruise of the season started with a bang. The sun was setting as we set out, but it soon got dark enough to reveal the activity of the auroras. The green lights appeared in the surroundings of mount Esja, some of them getting bright and starting to move slowly through the sky. The lights faded, came back, and faded again - but suddenly those northern lights became very bright and we could enjoy the green auroras for a few minutes with our naked eye. With calm seas, almost no wind, and waffles and hot chocolate to warm us up, what more could we ask from your northern lights cruise?
