I've always wanted to see the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis to give it it's posh name.
I hoped that we would be able to see them on our trip to the Ice Hotel but it didn't look to good. The first night there we went out on snowmobiles for a couple of hours but there was too much cloud cover to see anything.
One the second night it wasn't so cloudy and we could see some stars but nothing seemed to be happening so we went for dinner. During dinner the restaurant staff annouced that the lights had appeared and everyone went outside to look at them. It was to difficult to take a photo of them without a tripod so we had to make do with just watching them.
I was so busy looking that I started to walk along what I thought was a path but as soon as I stepped on it I was up to my knees in snow - it was a path of sorts, one made by a snowmobile.
We only saw the lights for a few moments but it was beautiful, maybe one day I'll see them again for longer.

Infact watched in awe and didnt even get the camera out, how stupid was that! enjoyed your photos. Must have been an awesome trip. Cheers from Carol (auntie)
