What got us our final northern lights experience was dog sledding with Husky Tours Lappland.
We rode at night, and we saw what I though was just a beacon light at an airport or something. Then it changed color and shape.
We stopped for coffee and tea made over a campfire inside the tent.
The dogs get an extra feeding after each run.
The next day some of went to the Sami Center and saw some reindeer. Here is a photogenic specimen, or maybe just a camera hog.
