Hunting Aurora Borealis

The Northern Lights adventure is out there, come and join!

Hunting for a solar storm

Lady Aurora dances her proton and electron dance over the northern hemisphere. You are in a nocturnal adventure out of the ordinary when Aurora Borealis changes the sky into a dynamic colour spectrum.

The Northern Lights have been moving across the arctic sky for endless times, been sung about in folklore and been told myths about.
