➡️A couple of weeks I wrote a caption explaining the Northern Lights from a scientific view👨‍🔬, now it is time for the legends surrounding this amazing spectacle:

📜According to one legend, Odin, the chief god and ruler of Asgard, lived in Valhalla, where he was preparing for Ragnarök. This event was predestined and would be Odin’s greatest battle⚔️, so he needed the bravest warriors at his side. During every battle on Earth, Odin would pick the warriors who would die and join him in Valhalla. The Valkiries👸 were female warriors on horseback. who wore armour and carried spears and shields🛡️, were tasked with leading Odin’s chosen warriors to Valhalla. The Vikings believed the Northern Lights🌌 illuminating the sky were the reflections of the Valkyrie’s armour🛡️ as they led the warrior to Odin.

📜In several other legends, they claim the Northern Lights🌌 were the breath of brave soldier who died in combat or they were believed to be the Bifrost Bridge🌈, a glowing, pulsing arch which led fallen warriors to the their final resting place in Valhalla.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦But for the Sámi people, the Northern Lights🌌 didn’t tell stories of heroism and bravery, they believed that they were the souls of the dead💀, and they were to be feared and respected in equal measure, so you shouldn’t talk🗣️ about them or even waving👋, whistling😗 or singing🎶 under them, as this would alert the lights to your presence and carry you up to the sky⬆️. Nowadays, many Sámi people stay in their homes🏠 when the Northern Lights are illuminating the sky🌌.

❓Did you know that that Norway has more English speakers than Canada? 76% of the Canadian population speaks English while 86% of the Norwegians make use of the English language for communication.

“It was a good stay with great and hard working staff. A bit understaffed at times for sure. Spaa was nice but had a complex timeslot system that did not really work but was fine for us. Lacked a Sauna... Breakfast could need an upgrade to reach 5-star. Plenty to eat but warm food seemed pre-cooked. No bread bake-off so the loaf of bread was not baked same day - I believe. Overall nice but needs to work on the details to get 5-stars from me.”

“Lägenheten vi bodde i var mysig och ren. En aningens för varm men det ordnade sig med öppna fönster runt om i hela lägenheten. Bra möjligheter till matlagning då allt fanns som behövs. Sängarna var mjuka och sköna. I receptionen var de väldigt trevliga, och följde oss till rätt lägenhet och visade. Fint läge med bara några steg till "huvudstraset". Dock fanns det inga lediga parkeringar på hotellet så vi fick parkera i p-huset vilket blev ganska dyrt. ”

Thon Hotel Tromsø

6/10 Okej

"Besviken att endast Al Jazeera fanns, och inte BBC/CNN, dåligt! Fick vänta på koppar och glas, annars helt ok. Vänlig och hjälpsam personal. Mycket smala 80-sängar"
