Nothing. Granted we haven't been here very long, we have seen no lights. Well ok, I take that back. Last night we went dog sledding about 30 minutes outside of town. When we got there we had a dinner. Consisting of reindeer stew and bread. Except for the smell it wasn't too bad. Then we got outfitted for our dog sledding trip. While we were out in the field waiting for the first group to return we technically saw the Northern Lights. However it was still so bright that it looked more like a cloud than the extraordinary phenomenon I was expecting.
Dog sledding was fun though not as fast-pasted as I was expecting. I wanted to be a part of the Iditarod but that was far from the truth.
In a few hours we depart on the M/S Lofoten for ours two day cruise along the coast. Hopefully one of those nights we will have a front row seat to the Aurora.

Can't wait to see your pictures even if the first part of your trip was a little slow--that means mom would have probably enjoyed it:) We are still hoping the Aurora shows itself to you.

Seriously, reindeer stew, aughhhh! Enjoy!
Pam
so the Northern Lights seen from one of the vessels in the last 3 or 4 days did make a story in the Wall Street Journal.
They included a pretty impressive picture. Your pictures, of course, will be much superior because of the better camera. :)
