    Hey Chris, great video! I did always wonder about this. By the way, when you said "Soviet" submarine tunnels, did you mean "Nazi"? I don't think the USSR had anything to do with Norway, even in WW2.

    Here in Greenland, we have an old folklore about Northern Lights that says the souls playing with whale skull and when children were out playing at late night, the Northern Light will descend and take their head and play with it instead.
    When I was a kid, we used to whistle to the Northern Lights to make them move, somehow they move and getting bigger, the longer and louder you whistle and we believed that they do descend and we run back home.

  • @SaturnCanuck

    Looks like a great trip. I am in Canada and when I was a kid, like 10 or 12, the conditions were right one night in the winter that the Northern Lights could be seen as far south as Toronto. It was a wondrous sight and I hope to see them again.
    But, I must say, although you are not use to conditions as seen in your video, in my region of Canada this is the norm for winter. A few times we had a foot of snow and temperatures of -30 C were not uncommon.
    I love your videos and keep them coming. And, oh yes, our lovely Canadian money gets cold then too. LOL

    Yes the Northern Lights look quite different up in Tromsø than what we can see here 2-4 times a year from Northern Denmark, which is usually only a narrow band of the green color at the bottom of the horizon. The green color occurs when the charged particles of the sun hit an oxygen atom.
    I know it is also possible to see the Northern Lights down in Southern England a rare time, but i think it is incredibly rare.

    I'm a norwegian and I do have been to Tromsø several times when I did my army duty in the late 90s. I was located 2 hours away.
    Coldest I have witnessed is -36C. It was bloody cold, that's for sure! Even as an norwegian, I don't like the coldness at all. Nor heat either. Our heat record is 36C, so we are not that used to extreme temps.
    But I have seen 42C in late 80s during the summer, but there was no weather station locally so there was never been recorded.
    I'm living south in Norway and usually the winter temps is minus 20-25C at max, but we have seen sub 30.
    One winter in the mid 80s it was -25C, with strong winds so it was actually calculated to -50C.
    I have seen Northeren lights several times, and a few years back visiting Oslo, the colors was actually just like your pictures and it was shifting the whole time.
    Northeren lights can actually be seen as south as Germany with the right conditions.
    Video was awesome btw.

    I live in the tropics... by choice. I was born in a temperate clime. But last night, I had to put on a little blanket and socks to keep me warm. Two nights per year that happens. Tonight is one of them and watching all that miserable weather made me feel twice as cold as normal!

    Visit Iceland during the winter! It’s incredibly amazing and surreal to see the Aurora while soaking comfortably in a Hotpot in the middle of nowhere

    I live far enough north where we have a week or two in the winter that is under -40 the whole time which basically means that we don’t have to go to school for a while. We even still have a couple feet of snow on the ground as a result of a recent snow storm! We also have these summer prairie wind storms that have winds up to and over 100 km per hour

    Awesome video, and glad you mentioned the different levels of aurora :D
    Back when I was in Lappland, we also only saw the "normal" ones you had photos of on the first days (and were kind of dissapointed) but a few days later the big ones came around and it was sooo magical, just like on the photos

    @CanuckJim 4 роки тому

    That was just delightful. I've always kind of wanted to visit Tromsø and see the lights. As a Canuck the weather's pretty close to our "bad" winter weather (we will get -20C for several days a few times each winter) so that wouldn't be a problem. (I've already got the penguin outfit!!) Maybe some winter when things get calmer.

    75,000 inhabitants is a rather decent sized city in Scandinavia! As for cities in the far north of the Nordic that is actually a pretty big city!

    Hey you might never see this comment, but I absolutely love these vids. I think everybody including me loves your vids and will support you all the way to 1 million subs, the amount of people seeing these vids are just increasing so much, and it makes me happy and excited that more and more people are seeing these vids. Also great job on the stop motion.
    Each one I see I swear I can’t even help smiling once every minute, it’s just hard not to! I even remember seeing the tapir and thunderstorms vid.
    Keep up these videos up, when I’m sad and depressed these always cheer me up, and very entertaining to watch.

    i moved up north last year and there have been 3 huuuuge solar winds since i got here. the second and the third time were useless bc it was too cloudy, however the first time was supposed to have been amazing. i was at work in the middle of the city and even i could see the northern lights from the highly light polluted city, so could only imagine what they looked like from the nearby darker lakes...

    Hi 😊 Would love to see Orcas at the sea... Never been to Norway, but have travelled a few times to UK.
    I have a decoration of Northern Lights theme at my home.
    Hehe, good humour in your video "... Normally, however, penguins do not go looking for Orcas" 🤣 and "Sun got stage fright before it even appeared" 😁😁
    Thanks for a lovely video of you and Danielle 😊

    Hello :) I visited Tromso in 2018 and I also loved the city! We were fortunate enough to see the Aurora from the balcony of our room and I have ever since compared it to a green dancing worm as it was moving very fast and disappeared within minutes.

    Are you going to make any more Travel Journal series videos? I’d be very interested to see what you got up to in Hong Kong and New Zealand.

    • @HalfAsleepChris
      @HalfAsleepChris  4 роки тому +1

      Yes! It didn't feel appropriate with everything going on in Hong Kong, but especially since I probably won't be travelling for some time, I plan on making them next month :)
