Our friends Mattia and Heini also got some action, as we were using them as models for our photos ? We had some sparkling wine in store for them, so they did not mind! ?Īt this same time, the northern lights were intensifying again. I took my boots and pants off and crawled through the rocky lake bottom to the rock. I, on the other hand, spotted a rock in the lake, which I knew I would want to visit! Sigh… It was completely dark around, making the photos even more epic. We had some water equipment with us, and Juha had set on sailing on the SUP board. The aurora was pretty small at this moment, compared to the earlier one, but we’ve went on experimenting with the photos. We’ve set of to lake Pasasjärvi, not normally, a difficult spot for the auroras, but on that night it would work perfectly. We decided to use this time and change our location. It barely got dark a little less than an hour ago, and you can still see a bit of sunset on this pic, underneath the beautiful aurora.Īfter a good half-an-hour, it seemed like the show was taking a break. While the auroras kept dancing, we decided to visit the observation point at Sovintovaara, and boy there was some big auroras to observe! The auroras were moving very fast, and changing direction. Me and Juha have certainly seen auroras go big like this, but still, we were pretty amazed. This was his first time seeing the auroras, and he got extremely lucky right away. look! Can you see? – Mattia was shouting. The sky was burning in every direction, even directly above us. Soon, they were everywhere and around us.

The auroras have already started to dance beautifully. Juha squeezed everything from the old Solifer, and we made it on top of Sovintovaara hill, just in time for the show. Through the foggy windshield, I already could see the sky turning green in front of us. However, I was growing really impatient as the old van was moving on the road so slowly. The plan was to go to some of Juha’s most favourite spots in Ivalo Lapland Finland. We knew that the auroras would be visible over the Aurora Village too, but our goal was to find a good and picturesque spot to experiment with photos photos. We’ve set out aurora hunting on Juha’s old Solifer camper van 1992, which we called the “Aurora Camper”. Actually, the impact itself happened already at noon, and all what we needed was a little darkness to see it. It was coming from a huge coronal hole on the sun’s surface, meaning that a fast stream of solar wind was about to hit earth. I knew that the big aurora storm was on its way. While we were having dinner at the hotel’s restaurant, I was getting really nervous. Sun was shining beautifully, and we already went fatbiking with Juha, the owner of Aurora Village, and a couple of friends, Heini & Mattia. Autumn, by the way, is one of the best seasons to hunt the northern lights in Lapland, and we were expecting something amazing.Įarlier that night the weather was awesome. On September 27th 2019 a huge aurora storm has hit the Earth. – This will be a night to remember, – I told my friends when we were moving out.
