More images Details: This was my last night in Northern Finnish Lapland for the New Year 2014 trip. I was quite disappointed because the weather did not allow me to see all the great aurora storms of the beginning of the year. When spaceweather.com announced the possible arrival of a CME in the night 8 to 9 January, my last night in Lapland, I had to go out and find clear skies. I did find the clear skies about 150km from my base camp in Inari, and saw there wonderful auroras. They were not linked to the above-mentioned CME though. Stay tuned for more photos (next trip March 2014). After these photos I went straight to the airport to catch my flight back home. Well worth a sleepless night! You must be logged in to comment.
