New energy to enjoy the Lappish nature. Two important tasks are awaiting us: heating up the sauna and making fire for the barbecue. After we finished this exhausting work, we go back inside and have a cup of coffee. A bit later, Lappish chicken (similar to ours, but a little colder) is ready for the barbecue. It would have been convenient if I could say the same about the fire. A lot of fire and no heat. I don't want to pretend being a barbecue expert, but this seems at least not ideal to me. A few Canadians who happen to stay at the same camp site seem pretty desperate. Burn baby burn, I hear them thinking. Result: wood and chicken on fire. Terrific. After we realize we could as well grill our chicken with Philip's lighter, we decide to move to our Lappish hut, where we can easily grill the meat in our stove. A tasty meal after all.
It is pretty dark outside. The only light we can find in the camp is coming from the few candles that are strategically placed outside the huts. Look! Greenish sky. Hm. Not normal. This could be northern light. We leave the camp to get rid of the disturbing candle light and go to the frozen lake, that provides us with a beautiful panorama on the sky. The greenish light is changing continuously. The light grows stronger and stronger and starts dancing on the sky. This is certainly northern light. A strange spectacle. Several attempts to make a picture of the light lead to nothing, but some produce a bit of an idea how it was, such as this one.
