Admittedly, sometimes there is a thick layer of snow on the lens or is it so foggy that there was only ten meters away to see, but the rest of the time, be patient viewers are rewarded with a magnificent spectacle. Think of a sky with colours and lights of purple, green and yellow. And if you really lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of Aurora Borealis or the northern lights.
