We were determined to see the lights, so we drove two hours northwest of Jukkasjarvi to Abisko (near the Norwegian border), intent on visiting the Aurora Sky Station—deemed to be the best place on earth to experience the lights. We took a chair lift to the top of Mount Nuolja and were rewarded with a “rare showing” under a starry sky and near full moon! Spectators all across the mountain were laughing and yelling, and I was shaking with excitement (and cold brrrrrr) Our pics are not the greatest—we know jack point jack about cameras, much less about filming auroras—but you can get the feel 😉
