The Auroras have been a mystery to me my entire life, something almost never seen from southern Australia and certainly not by me.<\/p>\n
I had seen photographs, watched documentaries, even studied a little on how they are formed. Still they had remained to me in the world of myth. My visit to Norway changed everything.<\/p>\n
My very first encounter was in the night sky of Troms\u00f8. At first I thought I was looking at wisps of cloud in the sky as if lit by city lights below. Then I noticed that hallmark green glow.<\/p>\n
The next night up in Skjerv\u00f8y, 386 km above the arctic circle, the night sky simply took my breath away.<\/p>\n
We watched those coloured veils of light dance across the entire sky from snow capped peaks to snow capped peaks while the calm waters of the fjords glowed green below.<\/p>\n
The Auroras truly deserve there mythical place in our imagination and not for me they are real.<\/p>\n
