Northern Lights

Have a great trip hope you get to see them if not Aberdeen is a good place to see them

Looks like some in the north of the UK might get a good view of the Northern Lights tonight. 

Hi all

Back from our trip and it was fantastic.   Saw the Northern Lights 2-3 times, twice they were faint, but one was a fantastic show with greens and reds and lots of dancing colours.    The cruise was great too, and we loved Norway and would love to go back again at some point.     Took some pics but they aren't that great but not sure how to put them on here - sorry 

Sounds like a really good trip, hope to do it one day, it's been on my list for too long! How far north did you get?

We went right up to the North Cape/Honnisvag - minus 6 with a windchill of minus10 but not that bad.   The weather was great, only one poor day.  The views and scenery were spectacular.  Highlights were Husky Dog Sledding, the Ice Hotel and the North Cape (not to mention the Northern Lights!)

When I was up at North Cape, the vis was down to about 30 metres which was a bit disappointing. We went another 600 miles after that to Svalbard where the weather was, fortunately, clear. There's something quite mesmerising about the topography once you get as beyond the Lofoten's.

Possible sightings tonight in northern England! lets hope it continues to build!
