Glacier excursion by day, Northern Lights by night








We had a great excursion today, transferring from the ship to a fast ferry we skitted through a fjord to a glacier. There we disembarked and wandered 'round the glacier lake. We then travelled further to a small fishing village with only 47 inhabitants on the island.
As I write this we are sailing through the most magical island peaks Lofoten - or close to that.
Meanwhile, excitement is building as Aurora Borealis is anticipated this evening 'round 10 pm. This is a fabulous scenic voyage - the light in clouds at sunset seems to decorate planes of mountains so that it seems the light raidates from within.
