The Northern Lights

When we arrived back to the hostel at Abisko, we were all lying around, fairly cold and definitely tired. Suddenly - it felt like the whole hostel was buzzing. Everyone ran outside, and we got to see the Northern Lights! They were faint at first, then over the course of half an hour grew more and more intense with movement and even a purple streak, which is an indicator of very strong activity.

I love Abisko, especially in the winter. The hostel was beautiful and seeing the Northern Lights just made it that much more exciting. This was my first, and hopefully not my last, time seeing them.
