Editorial Summary

Andrew and Leone travel to Tromso, Norway, to experience the Arctic winter and seek out the Northern Lights. After completing a cruise with Havila Voyages, they spend five days exploring the city during the polar night. The creators describe Tromso as a winter wonderland filled with thick, powdery snow and extensive Christmas decorations. Their itinerary includes a reindeer excursion led by a Sami guide, where they feed animals and eat traditional stew in a lavvu. They also visit the Polar Museum and Polaria aquarium. While their whale watching trip proved difficult due to rough seas and long travel times, they found snowmobiling and husky sledding to be major highlights. The creators specifically recommend booking husky sledding in the morning to maximize daylight. Although heavy cloud cover prevented them from seeing the Northern Lights, they conclude that the unique activities and picturesque scenery made for an unforgettable Arctic adventure.
