I live in Norrbotten, the county where the reporter went. While I love the place, the climate and the people, I just don't see why so many people pay so much to just come and see the auroras, while missing out of so much actual nature in the area.
Maybe I'm just acclimatized.
- Moru 8y agoI've lived at 64 degrees north Sweden all my life, yes you get acclimatized. I have recently rediscovered them thanks to relatives from south europe visiting and reminding me of what goes on up in the sky during the nights. Started going out when the aurora reports says it's a chance and keep seeing them pretty regularly. Every time I do, I meet some french or japanese or other nationality students with cameras out in the edges of town. Mostly students having relatives visiting from homecountry, wanting to see it.
- towb 8y agoI'm from Stockholm, so it's not part of what I see if I go outside on a random day. But I've seen it enough (edit: never in Stockholm), it does NOTHING with me. Meh! Maybe it's me just knowing that "we" have it that makes me not care. I don't know.
