Story
Our night at the lake of Jukkasjärvi continued and the aurora band was visible from east to west and took most of the sky, although pretty faint the structures were distinguishable and even better visible in the pictures. At few times it got more vivid instead of the more static band from east to west which give us some extra spectacle. Really a night to remember.
