I spent so much time waiting [mostly] patiently for the northern lights. Usually in the freezing cold [quite literally], often with an arctic fox as my only company.
Well, the world has kind of flipped upside down now, and here I was chasing aurora australis, the southern lights. The stars probably look upside down to my Svalbardian friends. On this fine night the temperature difference was about 30°… I do miss those crisp -15° [including wind chill] arctic temperatures.
