Almost on every traveller’s bucket list is seeing the Northern Lights. Famously elusive but truly spectacular, the Aurora Borealis even topped a UK survey of the most sought after travel experience in the world. Seeing the natural phenomenon gained 37% of the vote closely followed by visiting the Egyptian pyramids, a USA Route 66 road trip and walking the Great Wall of China.
I remember when we were lucky enough to be treated to this beautiful natural display ourselves. We were submerged in a snowy wilderness and battling minus 30 degree temperatures in Finnish Lapland. On one clear and crisp evening we stepped outside our log cabin and saw the dark night sky gently streaked with shimmering curtains of glowing greens, blues, yellows and reds – definitely a moment we’ll both never forget.
Well if you’re blogger now you have your own chance to see the Northern Lights for yourself. The travel specialists Transun are offering one lucky winner and a companion of their choice the chance to see the Northern Lights deep inside the Arctic Circle. The prize will include full board accommodation, return flights, a husky safari, a visit to a reindeer camp, a snowmobile ride and plenty more fun!
