Story
Our plan was to go to the Norwegion side but looking at the weather forecast the best chance for clear skies we're at the Swedish side so we quickly checked for another location to hunt and sleep. We ended up east of Kiruna at a lake with great view and the skies were clearing up! At the start of the night it was a static arc thgat got a bit more active during the observation period and slowly the sky got filled with aurora. It wasn't the brightest display, pretty faint but got brighter when it got more active.
