Story
Went up the ski lift for an aurora chase up the mountain above Abisko and it started very clouded so our hopes were not high. But they say that Abisko has somekind of micro climate which gives them the best ods to see the lights. After few hours almost getting desperate, the sky turned open with already some glimpse of aurora through the clouds and then the rela action could began as we suddenly got a very active display which turned the sky on fire with many movements and aurora all around us that we didn't know where to look. Sadly we had to go down even though the aurora was still active.
