ARCTIC LIGHTS – ARCTIC NIGHTS
Varanger is the kingdom of the Northern lights.
Northern Lights: The best place on earth to see them. They tend to begin as a weak, pale green band, which suddenly begins to dance. The green becomes strong, with an edging of pink. The bands’ ripple and flow, billowing like curtains. Two or three bands cover the sky. If you´re lucky, the sky explodes in a Corona, with bands of deep purple electric green, baby pink and white radiating from a centre in constant movement. Nowhere, else on earth ses moe Northern Lights than we do, and we do and have the mildest winters in the aurora belt.

Varangers midnight sun
What, one o’clock in the morning and the sun is shining? A summer’s day lasts for weeks north of the Arctic Circle, filling locals and visitors with joy, energy, and a positive mindset. The midnight sun means that the sun is above the horizon at midnight. And the rest of the night. And all day.
In fact, the sun doesn´t stop for 1800 hours at the North Cape. We are talking weeks of beautiful, energizing, light. it´s hard to explain until you´ve experienced it.

The story about Drakkar:
Long ago, in the northernmost parts of Norway, there lived a fierce Viking warrior named Ragnar. Ragnar was known throughout the land for his bravery in battle and his prowess as a shipbuilder.
One day, Ragnar decided to embark on a voyage to explore the waters of the Arctic Ocean. He commissioned his finest ship, a sleek and mighty drakkar, to be built and set out from his home port in Vardø.
As they sailed northward, Ragnar and his crew encountered many challenges, including treacherous ice floes, fierce storms, and attacks from rival clans. But they were undaunted and pressed on, determined to reach the furthest reaches of the Arctic.
Finally, after many long weeks at sea, they arrived at a desolate and icy shore, where they discovered a hidden cove teeming with exotic wildlife and abundant resources. They dubbed this new land "Island of the White Bear," and settled there, building a thriving village and trading outpost.
Ragnar`s drakkar became a legendary vessel, feared and respected throughout the region. Its imposing figure and fierce reputation made it a symbol of Viking strength and conquest.
And so, thanks to Ragnar`s daring expedition and the mighty drakkar that carried him, Vardø became a center of Norse power and exploration, and the story of the drakkar in Vardø lived on for generations to come.

@tanahusky // Enjoy the silence. In The Municipality of Tana we are living less than 3000 people spread out over 4000 square kilometers. We have a lot of space, and a lot of silence. Traveling with dogsleds – that’s the silent way of traveling. During a sled-dogtrip you can just enjoy the moment, just be………….
