Nicknamed ‘the gateway to the Arctic’ and renowned for its Northern Lights potential, Tromsø gives you easy access to some truly wonderful winter experiences both day and night, which we make the most of during this itinerary. You will spend some time outside of the city centre and in the stunning Lyngen Peninsula where you will explore the breathtaking scenery by snowmobile before retiring to your dedicated Aurora accommodation. Away from the city lights, you can keep an eye on the dark sky from the comfort of your glass-roofed Crystal Lavvo. Another evening will see you travel to the nearby husky farm to meet the hardworking and friendly sled dogs. You will spend some time with the expert mushers and their pack as you make use of the site’s Aurora camp to search the skies for a potential display. Back in the city centre, you will also have ample free time for some independent exploration. There are plenty of cultural offerings at several museums and an array of cafes and restaurants to try some local and fresh Arctic cuisine. Tromsø is also known for its lively nighttime scene with bars and live music.

We recommend booking an early flight so that you have plenty of time to experience the vibrant mix of local restaurants, attractions and stunning landscapes. For dinner tonight, why not head into the city centre to try some of the local cuisine. If you would like to add a Northern Lights activity this evening, please see our ‘Personalise’ section for full details. Included Meals: None DAY SNOWMOBILE TOUR AND OVERNIGHT IN CRYSTAL LAVVOS 2 Following breakfast in the hotel, you will be collected from a nearby location and transferred to the stunning Lyngen Peninsula and to your Crystal Lavvo. As you leave the city behind you will start to see the carved mountains and dramatic fjords take shape - and it is these wonderfully natural settings where you will spend the night. Before this, however, you will explore more of the region via snowmobile. This machine is perfect for manoeuvering on the snowy trails and will take you to viewpoints out to the Arctic sea and the Lyngen Speak to us on 01670 785 012 [email protected] www.theaurorazone.com PAGE 4 Alps - a pristine winter environment that you have to see to believe.

Following this, you have the evening free to enjoy your incredible accommodation for the night.

Hopefully, the Northern Lights will appear to make your stay even more spectacular.

Your luggage can be left securely at your hotel until your room is available for check-in this afternoon. Later this evening, you will be collected from a nearby location and taken to the Tromsø Wilderness Centre to meet the playful huskies. You will meet with professional guides who will introduce you to the excitable dogs and give you a tour of the facilities before enjoying a traditional dinner by the fire. The centre’s main draw for this evening, however, is its fantastic Aurora camp - located away from the city lights for an ideal Northern Lights vantage point. Here, you can gaze up at the night sky where hopefully, the green dancing lights will start to appear. You will be about for approximately 4 hours, including transfers.

Skål! While most skiers stored away their skis in April, it is not quite the end of our winter. We found the ultimate way to prolong our ski season by a few weeks. We are at the small Norwegian airport of Tromsø, 300 kilometres above the Arctic Circle, where we welcome our tired friends, who have flown in from North America. Our crew for this Arctic adventure consists of pro skier Molly Baker, a film crew from Mt. Baker and a few of our lucky Dutch friends. It’s an eclectic group and although our backgrounds are completely different, we all share a passion for skiing. For the next month we’ll be traveling by ski, boat and car through the Lyngen Alps in Northern Norway. In this remote area on the same latitude as Siberia and Alaska, where impressive mountains and deep blue fjords dominate the scenery.

Stokes <[email protected]> ABSTRACT. The recession of mountain glaciers worldwide is increasing global sea level and, in many regions, human activities will have to adapt to changes in surface hydrology. Thus, it is important to provide up-to-date analyses of glacier change and the factors modulating their response to climate warming. Here we report changes in the extent of >120 glaciers on the Lyngen Peninsula, northern Norway, where glacier runoff is utilised for hydropower and where glacial lake outburst floods have occurred. Glaciers covered at least 114 km2 in 1953 and we compare this inventory with those from 1988, 2001 and a new one from 2014, and previously-dated Little Ice Age (LIA) limits. Results show a − steady reduction in area (∼0.3% a 1) between their LIA maximum (∼1915) and 1988, consistent with increasing summer air temperatures, but recession paused between 1988 and 2001, coinciding with increased winter precipitation.
