Comment: The night began somewhat cloudy, but a strong wind blew the clouds away, allowing us to see the first signs of a wonderful show! It began innocently, with a delicate glow above Esjan. Just a few moments later, a new wave arrived – the aurora spread out right above our heads, creating beautiful ribbons and streamers, treating us to colours of green and pink and a dance. Amazing night!
