Creator's Key Takeaways

it's only through the camera lens that you pick up the colors of the northern lights unless they are extremely strong and vivid

i strongly encourage you to make a trip and see the aurora if you can once in your life

don't go just for one day you could be extremely lucky and see the aurora but i always plan for at least five to seven days

steve and i have been aurora hunting now for 10 years and so far we have seen the aurora every time we've gone
