Lapland and the Arctic North, March 2012

After an hour and a half bus ride from the Sami Reindeer Farm we reached Abisko, Sweden. Abisko is an extremely small village north of Kiruna and close to the Norwegian border. This small village offers the best chance to spot the Aurora Borealis. Upon arriving in Abisko, we spent the evening drinking gløgg, and roasting hot dogs within a Sami tent while looking for the northern lights. Unfortunately, we only saw a few faint lights, but nothing spectacular.
