Did you know Rudolph the Reindeer (and all reindeer in general) has no upper teeth?
Join us for beautiful pics of auroras, reindeer teeth trivia, and grousings about grocery prices! Whether you’re a born Norwegian, immigrant, tourist, or just think reindeer are cute, this is the place to be.
Due to the small size of Lemmy, and the even smaller size of the Norwegian part of Lemmy, contributors are encouraged to stick to English where possible.

(Sven says hi!)
Tried Alaska and Canada without success.. but now it happened! Thanks Norway!
did you go higher in Latitude or did you just get lucky in Norway?
how many days did you visit each place?
and did you plan ahead at all or did you just hope that the lights would be there?
Alaska.and this place were pretty close in latitude. It's luck I think. However in Alaska it was me alone. Here there are guides and they supposedly talk to each other to find the best spots.
I did not plan ahead other than "winter". If I had to so.it again I would keep an eye for corona ejections and flight asap to a high chance zone that night.. but it's expensive this way.
Where are you located? Asking because I live in the east coast and I am "6 hours direct flight" away from Iceland. That was going to be my next attempt if this one did not work.
That's how I did it when I went to Alaska also, I saw some colors but it wasn't full wild like in your picture and I want to get that.
I'm actually a perpetual traveler, I'm in Guatemala right now, but I went to Fairbanks so recently that I'm kind of giving it a couple years before I hunt the lights again.
congratulations, btw, looks great
lying down in the snow until tissue damage, becomes a concern is exactly what I will be doing whenever I find the wild lights myself.
Welcome to Norway! :)
I'm curious BTW, the one time I saw it, there was a huge difference between what I saw with the naked eye, and what showed up in my smartphone camera. Did you have the same experience, or is your pic pretty much the same as what you saw?
This was taken with very little adjustment on the phone.. it was very close to this pic. The snow was not THAT glowy but it was indeed a rave fest up in the sky..
