🌌Northern Lights over Tromsø - Tromsø - Troms - Norway🇳🇴

➡️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.

"Dommage pour les 200 mètres de chemin à monter à pied avec bagages surtout en pleine saison de neige, cela a été très physique. Impossible d’y amener la voiture obliger de stationner chez le voisin en bas. Pas de télévision et peu de lumière surtout en saison de nuit polaire. Idéal pour ceux cherchant l’isolement total, literie à changer rapidement. Sinon logement propre et fonctionnel. "

"Loved the property but after we left the host tried to scam us by saying we left the place without tidying up. He wanted 1000NOK/£70. I told him we videoed the entire place showing it was spotless before we left, and he quickly told us to not worry about the 1000NOK. The place was also advertised as a 3 bedroom house yet he failed to tell us that one of the bedrooms is his private bedroom and is not to be used! I would return to Finnsnes, but never to this place."

Top Troms Hotel Reviews

Sommarøy Arctic Hotel Tromsø

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely area! The hotel is well placed to explore the beaches and hill nearby. We caught the bus 420 from Tromso which was scenic. All but one members of staff were great and really helpful and friendly (BUT when we arrived, the woman at reception was very unfriendly and rude). Excellent breakfast. Nice rooms."

The Dock 69°39 by Scandic

10/10 Excellent

"A great, modern hotel with a bit of personality and some great design features. Our room was close to the bridge so busy with people walking past but if you look past that the views of the mountains were great. Breakfast was amazing, with a huge choice and a barrister making coffees. The location of the hotel is very handy, close to buses but also on the trendy side of the harbour with good restaurants nearby."

Clarion Hotel The Edge
