The weather was not best condition it was heavy rain and snow and strong winds and so cloudy, but Peter read the weather and the movement of the clouds, and managed to find even three places where we could saw the beautiful Northern lights. I think we were the only group to see the lights successfully. He said northern light is his wife and talked to the sky on our tour and it was so enjoyable. He was nice and friendly.
