We had all along been hankering to find out what the Aurora Borealis would look like...but had not the time nor disposition to actually take up the search and were making excuses to put it off...primarily because we thought it would be too cold, etc..etc..! But we eventually decided to "hug" the Arctic and find "Lady Aurora" rather than be tantalised, mystified and teased by her....so off we went, ski gear and all...and thermal underwear...
