Aurora Borealis (1.5min) - Ivalo Finland Lapland, Kakslautanen Igloo Village.
The Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights is one of the most beautiful and breathtaking sights from the heavens.
In early Dec of 2013, a journey to witness this celestial wonder took my family to the realm of cold and snow.
Our initial sighting of the aurora was weak and faint, far in the horizon....But gradually, they grew stronger and brighter, with sharp obvious streaks and lines becoming visible even to the eye.
Gazing upwards at Aurora, Our Heart Soared! Ethereal lights awakening our soul, Electrifying this icy land.
In this silent cold night, nature once again overwhelmed us with her greatness, infusing our souls with joy and happiness..
Now you see them, now you don't. Longing, waiting, freezing, numbing.
Recorded 100m from my Log Cabin at Kakslautanen, Igloo Village: Ivalo, Finland.

Road Trip & Things to do in Lapland, Finland
In search for the best winter spots Kristin & I went on a road trip through Lapland in Finland and checked out all the things to do in Lapland and it was magical!

I know it took a while to finish editing this video as I had to struggle with the 4k video data I got from my new toy: the drone. I'm now able to shoot lovely aerial footage to give you an even broader picture of the destination.
Our trip to finnish Lapland started in Rovaniemi with the visit of the Santa Claus village where we said hi to Santa himself and had some fun tubing and drinking at the ice bar in Snowman World.
Snowmobiling was a great way to start our second day & I would say it's one of the must dos in Lapland for sure!
Next stop was the area of Ylläs where we spent most of our time: ice sculpturing, snowshoeing, skiing, dog sledding, a reindeer safari, sauna and northern light sightings made this trip to once in a lifetime winter experience!

Aurora Borealis over Guesthouse Husky, Ivalo, Finland
The Aurora Borealis dancing over Guesthouse Husky in Ivalo, Finland on January 21st 2015. This was a surprise G1 storm for everyone as there wasn't much activity forecast for this day. As soon as 5:30pm green/red pillars were forming in the sky and we were treated to around 2 hours of Northern Lights. They dimmed down around 8pm but we were delighted to see this!
