Destination Bodo. The Arctic Circle goes a little north of 66 degrees north and cuts through Nordland in Norway and sets the boundary for the Arctic Empire with the midnight sun and winter darkness. Internationally, the Arctic Circle passes through Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Alaska, Canada, Greenland and Iceland.  As you get north of the Arctic Circle, you will be able to experience the two unique natural phenomena that Northern Norway is so famous for; the Midnight Sun and (hopefully!) the Northern Lights.

Bodo, Arctic coastal walk,

The northern lights, or aurora borealis, are a spectacular, colorful display of light commonly seen in the night sky in the northern hemisphere. Northern lights are polar lights or aurora polaris, because they occur near Earth’s magnetic poles.

We saw them! They were visibly good, not great, but good. Everyone was very excited.

Hopefully I am shopping tomorrow!
