We are now a long way North into the Arctic circle. Today the sun is due to set at 1.37 pm!

Again there is not much to see in the port. We have a tour booked this evening to go “chasing the Northern Lights”. The apps we have all been following were predicting significant activity this evening.

In the coach, we’re off to find the Northern Lights
First stopping place … no lights!
In fact our apps are now telling us that there is no chance of seeing the lights tonight. Lots of cloud cover and zero activity.

So, after being out for over 4 hours, we finally returned to the ship not having seen any Northern Lights. Our tour had a guarantee, so we should geta refund of 500Nok each. Oh well, you can’t see something that’s not there!
