On the second night, too, there were beautiful northern lights in Reine again. The sky was about as cloudy as the night before, but it was still really lovely to watch. The most beautiful night, though, was yet to come. The glow appears when charged particles from the sun hit oxygen and nitrogen high in the atmosphere – and above the Lofoten Islands you are right in the middle of the aurora belt.
The rorbuer are reflected in the water, a broad green band lying above the steep mountain.Far above the water only a narrow band of aurora remains, with distant lights below.Only a small green patch in the gap between the black mountains.Almost no ground: spiral-shaped aurora in front of the starry sky.A single ray reaches high among the stars, the cloud below staying dark.A green band above the black mountain silhouette – the Lofoten lie in the aurora belt.A bright pillar stands between the clouds, its edge turning violet.Several green curtains hang through the clouds over Reine.The green aurora lies in an S-shape in front of clouds and a few stars.The mountain silhouette stays black, the green light lying at a slant above it.A pale figure on the road, green aurora above the mountains.
