Aurora Hunting In The Norwegian Arctic – Advanture Magazine Advanture Magazine

This

trip is a special and intense experience, so you need to have an adventurous spirit and be willing to undertake this journey with people from other countries. Enjoy the weather – it snows, shines and everything between. However, chasing natural phenomena we can’t always be lucky, so it is a good thing that we provide so much which will take your mind away from that. Photography and filmmaking lessons are the focus, but we can also go dog sledging, taste a delicious dinner in a Norwegian cabin with the local delicacy of moose meat, and absorb nature while walking through incredible landscapes, frozen lakes, and mountains. Maybe we’ll be luckier on the night we are taking an outdoor jacuzzi, and out of nowhere, the sky fires up in an ecstatic dance. You soon enough learn to let go as you are blown away by the pristine vistas. 

Of course, you can easily fly to Norway and rent a car or take the tourist bus. But, I had tried those types of things when I was visiting Tromso, and quickly saw what was really lacking. This personal project of mine, aurora hunting in the Norwegian Arctic, is everything that I believe an advanture camper needs to experience. 

In this wild land you feel free, and you feel that the world is yours. You see those mountains diving into the ocean, it is an overwhelming beauty. The roads are breathtaking too, allowing us to cruise through the snowdrifts, away from the lights, and into the dark night. One of my favourite things to do is pull over for a campfire, whether it is just to warm up or cook an alternative meal. It’s these elements of camping that I mentioned earlier, which keep me excited, just as much as the auroras. Sitting by the fire with people from all over the world to share stories within this vastness, how beautiful. You’ll really notice how good we are set up when you spot the first tourist bus unloading, a few quick pictures snapped, and then everybody packs back in before it turns around to return to Tromso.

We might decide to stay at this campfire spot for the night, we’re relaxed and there isn’t really a reason to move. After all, I can guarantee that waking up out here tomorrow is going to be something you will never forget.
