Report from Eldey: Well, things started off a little… underwhelming. The sky was more cloudy than we expected, and we were starting to think we’d have to settle for a few faint lights and a good view of Jupiter, Mars, and Venus (which, don’t get me wrong, was still pretty cool). But then, out of nowhere, it happened. Suddenly, the entire group on the tour gasped and pointed upwards. It was like someone flipped a switch—bam! The northern lights started going absolutely crazy. They weren’t just glowing gently like we had seen before, they were dancing across the sky in these vivid green swirls, with little flashes of pink mixed in. It was like watching a cosmic light show, and it felt like the sky was alive! People were screaming, laughing, and snapping pics like mad. The whole moment was so unexpected and surreal. I guess it just goes to show how unpredictable these tours can be, but when it hits, it hits HARD. What a way to end the night!
