Tried Alaska a few years back. Then Alberta.. Both no luck.. Finally today in Tromsø.. waited 5 hours and all meh sightings.. Then suddenly in a matter of minutes.. Full LSD rave sky party!
I was in Finland a couple weeks ago, and see them but they weren't bright at all. You could barely see them with a camera. And then a couple of days later, our taxi driver told us that the night before was the brightest most colorful auroras he had seen :( and it was possible for us to see them from our hotel but we didn't know about them.
I it's a lot of luck and patience. We were ready to leave.. seen some at the distanced.kinds strong but far away.. them this magic happened right out of nothing and intensified in less than 2 mo utes.it was insane how fast it picked up
Gratz!! I am planning to this with my son this year. I had it all planned out a few years ago and then COVID hit. I'm also primarily Norwegian and want to see the homeland.
