Hunt for the Northern Lights with the Aurora Addicts

Have you been watching Professor Brian Cox’s brilliant ‘Forces of Nature’ series featured on BBC One? This week’s stunning final episode focused on the science behind the colours of our planet.

2aaBrian travelled around the globe experiencing phenomena such as the gentle beauty of a moon bow in Iceland, to the transformation of the sun-drenched Serengeti.

Finally, he landed in Northern Norway to uncover our favourite of all nature’s marvels – the spectacular Northern Lights.

In his quest to see the Northern Lights he enlisted the help of the self-proclaimed Aurora Addicts; an amazing family of 6 who left their home in the UK to make their dreams of hunting the lights a reality. 10 years later, they’re still hunting the Northern Lights and feeling that same adrenaline rush as the first time they witnessed the world’s greatest light show.
