The dancing Arora (Aurora borealis) is a natural phenomenon that’s truly awe-inspiring. The word “Aurora borealis” means “dawn of the North.” The name came from the Roman goddess, Aurora (goddess of the dawn).

A long time before science could even explain this enchanting phenomenon, there were stories and legends told amongst different cultures that seem to uncover the mystery about this Northern lights.

Some natives of Alaska believed the lights to be the spirits of animals that they have hunted down (of deer, salmon, seals and beluga whales), while others believed it to be the spirits of their own people. The legend about the Arora in the Old Norse in Iceland is however told differently. They believed the light to be the flickering light of the armor of the legendary Valkyries. In Norse mythology, Valkyries are a host of female figures who choose those that shall live and those that shall die on the battlefield.

What does it feel like to see the Northern Lights?

«It is magical, simply magical. You think you must be dreaming, especially when you catch an outbreak from the start. It just comes from nowhere… and keeps moving and changing shape! It’ s like someone is doing a huge watercolour painting, in real time, across the canvas of the dark black sky. This is nature’s own silent movie show, awe-inspiring, majestic and ethereal that leaves you feeling stunned, reminded once again of the incredible beauty of nature. And somewhat grateful that you’ve had the opportunity to see it».
