Last night was phenomenal. Clearly the previous night was just a rehearsal. We had the lot colours, curtains, beams, hyper activity with wave like pulsations directly overhead and around us. A spectacular display so can't wait to be out on te water tonight for a stunning finale to our holiday in Tromso.

First sighting of the aurora so apologies that I maybe not best able to describe the intensity or types of activity accurately. The sighting began by being almost a white cloud as we were driving along the road. When we were able to stop we cold see a definite wide spread arc that varied in intensity. There were some strong beams occasionally at either end and movement through the arc like curtains. Difficult to detect much colour at all, very pale green maybe. Surprised not to see any other reports of sightings from here as we have been told it has been very good for weeks.
