As I mentioned in my last post, we took a private tour the first night in Alta but didn't see the Northern Lights. Those who couldn't get on that tour took a shorter one the following night but had to be back onboard by 10.30pm as we were sailing at 11pm.
As it turned out, they were the ones who got lucky.
We did see the Lights ourselves from our balcony on the ship but my photos are very inferior to these and not worth posting.
I lay on the lounger on our balcony in the -12C temperature wrapped up in blankets and fleeces, looking up to the sky and snapping away hoping to get one decent shot, but they all turned out very grainy. At least we did see them though.
So here are the good photos not taken by me!
I am joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for the Wordless Wednesday blog hop.

Absolutely awesome. I've been to Alaska once but we never did see the Northern Lights due to cloud cover (plus it wasn't the best time of year). Thanks to your cruise friends for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking! Deborah

Words really cannot describe the majesty and marvel that is natures light show. So sorry you couldnt get your own great shots, but at least you did get to see them!

Mom says she often saw the Northern Lights from the cockpit on flights to Europe back when she was a flight attendant. They were up by Greenland and would be beautiful to see.
