In Search of the Northern Lights

Dave Arnold chronicled a very successful cruise that he and Liz made (in comfort!!) to Northern Norway in January 2022. Dave shared photographs of the aurora event as it unfolded, he also outlined the science behind the spectacular light show. Both Liz and Dave are keen photographers so the presentation had some interesting shots at ports and along the Norwegian arctic coast in winter.

Dave highlighted they were very lucky to see the Northern Lights in all their splendour especially being immersed in them with the lights totally surrounding them. Sometimes they are not as bright and just appear as a greyish blur especially from lower latitudes.

Below is a short video showing a small selection of the slides that Dave presented.
