Comment: The conditions for seeing the Northern Lights this evening were good; we set off under a partly clear sky, with the clouds mostly high up and easily passing by.
Shortly after leaving the harbour, about fifteen minutes later, the first faint lines of aurora appeared to the south, which later intensified and started spreading north too. Above our heads, however, the sky remained cloudy. After waiting a while, the sky cleared over the evening, and the real light show arrived just as we were about to dock, on our return from the cruise. This night, too, was magical.
