Wer Nordlichter sehen will, geht es ohne eine professionell organisierte Führung nicht. Diese Aktivität hat meine Erwartung erfüllt.

Wir fuhren mit dem Minibus ca 15 Minuten zu einem zugefrorenen See und blieben dort für ca 2 Stunden um die Norslichter zu sehen. Nordlichter gejagt haben wir da garnicht.
