Northern Lights
I have run this chase since the beginning of the Aurora business in Tromsø in 2006 and have been out on chases over 2,000 nights to give my guests what they came for... Experience aurora borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, with GuideGunnar – as seen in 'Jakten på Nordlyset' on TVNorge and in 'Dem Polarlicht auf der Spur' on NDR Fernsehen!
