Took my partner for a surprise—he’s obsessed with the aurora and I finally get it. The lights were sooooo beautiful, like a moving painting. Crew were fun, kept checking if we were warm enough. There’s a photographer on board who snapped some pics for us. Bring a hat, the wind is savage.

Unreal. Guide had so much passion for the science behind the aurora, even brought along a little laser pointer. We saw green and even some purple! Dress in layers, seriously.
