Arctic Circle Adventure
I
have delayed this trip to the Arctic Circle for many years.
Reasons:
1.
Chances are very slim seeing the Aurora Borealis because of
the cloudy conditions or snowing.
2 Rating of the KP regarding solar activity could be very low.
3. Will your camera perform at sub-below temperature?
4. Freezing COLD.
I
decided anyway, that the time was right, so I made the "plunge".
What
a great experience... seeing the northern lights, dog sledding,
world championship
ice carving festival and traveling on the most dangerous road
in the world.
I
had decided that February would give me the best odds. I was
right.... thanks to charts, weather forecast and God's assistance.
Seeing
the northern lights (Aurora Borealis) is amazing... I should
say "FANTASTIC". Experiencing dogs running at 20
mph in minus 27 degrees below zero also is something to remember.
Then
seeing the master ice carvers form images out of a block of
ice, is remarkable.
Please
enjoy these photos and if you ever have the desire to see
this phenomenon, you
may contact me
for additional information.
