Lyngen Alps - Snowmobile

Taken from our lodge.
 












 
After simple breakfast, bread, cheese, smoked salmon, we got ready for the snow mobile.

 
The guide was strict. We went off track and I as passenger were asked to become passenger of the other guide. Riding snow mobile here was difficult. It was not as easy as in Finland. Not sure if the different vehicle used or?? Snow mobile here, we really had to shift the body weight to the right or left to control the turning. We had a few people over turn their vehicle which was scary.
 
I did not dare to ride the snow mobile after seeing these. I remained as passenger throughout. A bit regret also as I never tried. Fun to be passenger also as the speed was slow here. When my driver responded to the people, he drove super fast and scary...














 
We didn't get to see northern lights today. It was snowing heavily whole night. We could even hear the window shaking, so scary. Wondering will the house rooftop fly away or the window broke. Felt like stuck in some "Wulu" place.

Northern lights at Lyngen Alps

Saw the Kp index for northern lights the day before was like 0.36 from somewhere.
The forecast for 14 mar was not so good either.
The owner of our lodge told us that the activity level was 22. Possibility of seeing the lights.
Hmm...confuse.



 
After our dinner, some lamb soup..not nice..
We went out of the house and we saw it there. Not strong, but we were able to see it. Unlike Finland, we couldn't really see it at KP index 2 or 3.
