HURTIGRUTEN  | | | | | |  | | Become a Certified Hurtigruten Specialist at | | | | | | | | | | | |  | | | Let There Be (Northern) Lights | | Norway and the Winter Sky | | | Hundreds of years ago, previous generations looked at the kaleidoscope of colors in the sky and thought they were the ghosts of their ancestors, giant hunters, or foxes kicking snow into the sky. Now we know that electrons from the solar winds interact with nitrogen and oxygen atoms 20-200 miles above the Earth to create the mesmerizing spectacle. Even though we understand the science behind the beauty, the northern lights still inspire stories and wonder. Have your clients join us on these special cruises and tell their own tales of standing in the Arctic darkness and breaking the silence with their own "oohs" and "ahhs". There are many ways to see the 'lights' with Hurtigruten. | | | | |
