Creator's Key Takeaways

the potential for seeing them is not as great as there is let's say in Kiruna or places that we were in Finland on my past videos

we had god-awful weather which included rain and considering we're only 838 miles from the North Pole I never ever considered rain

longer burn itself is a small town of course when the snow is washed out by the rain there's not very much that you can go see or do

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you're going to come up here for the Northern Lights, think Sweden, Finland, or Tromsø.

YouTube Video Description

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com Please remember that the goal of this trip to Winter Norway is "Hunting the Lights." I never expected days of rain only 838 miles from the North Pole. It is possible to see the Lights between snow flakes if strong enough but not through rain. With nothing to do (no snow for winter activities), the 5 days was a "total wash-out" - yuk, yuk...
