- Aurora on Huskies Sled, Kiruna
(We couldn't come all the way here in Arctic Kiruna and not ride on a husky-driven sled. So we combined both this ride and another opportunity to hunt for a new but elusive aurora. We arrived at the ranch, with nearly 40 huskies here. Again, we slipped into another set of arctic clothings and boots, and off we go - 12 handsome huskies pulling 5 people, including our guide Pierre. In -22C temperature, we were literally getting frozen as the huskies dutifully brought us some 5km into the pine forest, to rest beside a tent. The fire in the tent was much-needed, in this coldest temperature we have ever experienced. But the 'fire' outside the tent was the real star - another Northern Lights, this time even more spectacular, opened up right near the horizon of the forest. It even started dancing in the sky for us. What a sensational way to end our arctic experience here in Kiruna - simply wow!)
