In your room you can land great price go to d. W. Dot com travel quite as. Aurora borealis the Northern Lights have fascinated mankind for millenia. Some find them franklin others inspirational most when they experience them are simply overwhelmed. The thing i mean what you see behind me is the reason weve come this far north there are a barrell is so Northern Lights this natural spectacle in the sky has fascinated humans for thousands of years many people now come here on holiday just to see and experience the lights for themselves. Who are almost two hundred kilometers north of the Arctic Circle at kew roun abdul originally built to support the mining industry. These days most of the arrivals arent coming to work on the contrary jack hong for instance is a Chinese Student on holiday. And made. The Journey Continues by bus. People who have come from all around the world to experience something very special. Jack kong who studies physics in the United States has been dreaming of this for a long time. Going to see an awesome lightning Lawrence Norden that is just so awesome that i nominate every outpace man i can never see here that has wanted to see if i was. In my whole life i think i said if it landed on. The new arrivals are surprised by the darkness its just two in the afternoon but its already pitch black outside its the polar night. Their accommodation is cozy with simple rustic chalk. Its like a better quality youth hostel. And thats no wonder because its run by the swedish youth hostel association. Its the top choice in town and its been booked out for months. Its Northern Lights season in. This is luring. A remote village somewhere in lapland but not far from the swedish no we joined borda orbit around one hundred people and its a very special place thats because of the Northern Lights you can find Northern Lights tourism in many other areas of the world is considered the best place to experience the celestial phenomena thats due to its location in a low precipitation microclimate. Part of the a pony and gate thats what they call these you shaped valley its a point of focus for visitors to lapland the mountains and sure the few clouds obscure the view of the Northern Lights. Its necessary to travel quite far north to see the Northern Lights the area around all busy you situated in the wide expanses of lapland and thats north enough. Freight trains from kew roona transport iron ore to the port of navi otherwise not much goes on up here. Roughly one hundred residents who will be live directly on the railway line. In the evening almost everyone in town meets at the only book that means tourists and those who profit from the presence its only recently that holiday makers started coming to see the Northern Lights and it was newcomers who recognized the economic potential of this celestial display the first time i saw the Northern Lights something in my brain changed something in my outlook changed and i think thats a reason people come here chairs because when you see the Northern Lights for the first time. It makes you feel small it makes you understand how powerful the universe is. And a lot of times it helps you understand that your problems and all these things that seem like food in your world at any moment that really arent that big and when you see nature at its finest and thats what they are or it was. It puts everything into perspective and for me obviously has changed my perspective on life. And. To think now some fifteen thousand visitors make their way to a biscoe every year to see the Northern Lights its a very troubled boom thats good for the local businesses which now make decent money all winter long. It may be minus twenty degrees celsius but jet blakeley has to go to repair the web cam it broadcasts images of the Northern Lights all around the world the most recent footage was blue. Sorry. I had to come up here tonight to adjust the settings the infinity focus was off just a tiny bit and im better of a perfectionist so i wanted it to the perfect. Chant blakely is an american whos lived here for eight years captivated by the Northern Lights he and his swedish wife came up with an idea that transformed winter in obispo. On a good night we can have many many many thousands of people from all over the world looking at these pictures self i feel a bit of a responsibility to make sure that it stays running. People that dont have the ability to come to school get to see us through the eye of the lens plexiglas protects the delicate optical lams even in these optic temperatures this camera has turned life in this Remote Community upside down. Perhaps a little too much according to some. When hes out on the snowmobile chad blakeley always has the lights on better safe than sorry visibility is poor during winter in the arctic. The american from the state of missouri had to get used to that when he first came to the cold dark north. Winter holiday makers stopped arriving in all biscoe in october to make sure these photos so far is too unpleasant challenge set up an old sound weak tent this is where the paying guests stay until the skylight south. From. The small firearms to the sense of adventure or bisque who used to be an insiders tip now its a popular destination chad lately may benefit from the boom but hes also concerned that too much traffic could destroy the magic of the place i think my Biggest Challenges is making sure that as we grow and as the interest in all the school continues to spread that we continue to give really really good levels of experience you know one of the things that always goes really dealt with in the last couple years as weve had this boom is to make sure that the place doesnt have too many people or have of too many tours happening in a National Park its a very small area and i think our biggest challenge is to make sure that we dont love all this go to death and be a good whats the word a Good Shepherd and take good care of the place. Its a good idea to warm up the tent in advance of the evening session. Hopefully the sky will be clear. Chad blakely heads back to the village he still has a lot to do. Chad blakely offers photography courses and provides cameras for the participants. Guys my name is chad im going to be your guide tonight im going to be your storyteller your fire maker here aurora photographed teacher here your guy that teaches you a bit about space im going to make you a warm drink and hopefully were all going to have a really nice time. We can go out and talk about camera settings all night long if you just want to take pictures we can also do that everybody should have brought an s. D. Card that anyone not bring in s. D. Card what a great group and there we have it ok guys so well start with the basics there are only two variables that we will have to change throughout the course of the evening and the way we change that is very simple if you look on the back of your camera here theres a wheel that youll find by your thumb ok so on your camera you have a little lever here that goes back thats called the live you believe or like a cell show this group over almost entirely from asia you can just go one couple is from singapore just in the whole day we can reuse of the camera and take the. Aurora isnt super Cool Committee where we come from all but its nice to do a speed in such with the ones in a way. As to where this kind of so i thought with a lot of. Walking towards. Venturing out into the darkness with chant snuff the cheap adventure. The three hour excursion at minus twenty five degrees costs around one hundred twenty euros per person so braithwaite has to be sure his customers get something for their money i want you to experiment with exposure take a fifteen second picture take a twenty second picture take a thirty second picture point the camera this way and youll start to get your first aurora photographs but the reason were going to experiment with those exposures is to see which exposure level you like the most the aurora is not super strong right now. Now so as i turn the ring slowly slowly slowly it gets nice and sharp and now we turn the live you back off and once thats done your focus is set. Yet no matter how hard he tries no a roar appears in the sky thirty seconds right now because there was a big call when you first saw it and then on the legs were in finland we were surprised that you can actually see like what you saw in the protests media only could i but with the camera you know you can see much more clearly and you can go back to your friend and say well you were sitting on a couch i took a picture of another world yeah cool thing because this guys dong chan provides an alternative program and everyone should feel the trip was worth it there we go on three one two three dont move. We also learn more about the scots ok about nuking me about the different styles and how i can show it and frame that picture such that god or us in this thought make up that if its just like everyone else we might use it but next i would you know see i will write a piece. So maybe you know a nice big issue you might want to try and look in the southern part of the wood and in social be recorded australia is. Still there a little disappointed its a long way to travel to look at the dark sky thats not why they came to a biscuit. Chad and his wife linea of the tourists a pariah of the options in addition to photo tools. Cleared up and yes from. What is this. Just. Somebody rented some booze and. The webcam is working perfectly again now that chads fixed up. I told her the picture on facebook this morning and in the last hour and a half its been seen six thousand five hundred forty two thousand. And one nights some and when you look here its not one. And she actually will be school has become known around the world thanks to the internet from someone that had a really snow we know it was mine so its easy to get a great review and yours are going strong on the slow nights. Bigger orus its the thing is you know ive said it a million times when people book a trip to go see the Northern Lights if theyre going anywhere other than all the school day they often wonder am i going to see the lights and thats usually our biggest question. They might deserve a raise. But he cant guarantee any. Thing apart from the freezing temperatures by the time winter comes to an end the couple have had enough of cold laflamme. We always try to go somewhere warm and really just relax but i actually promise when theyre good this year im going to take a two week vacation with no phone no email nothing and i im ninety nine percent confident that i will have the ability to opt to keep my word i certainly hope since. You live. In. Spectacular sites like these are something every Northern Lights family should experience at least ones who know lifetime regardless of how cold it is. In the evening chad wants to present the Northern Lights to his guests at last its gotten even colder and windy and theres nothing to see yet but plenty to talk about through a lot of times when we can explain something we dont understand something we immediately go to the spirit. If orion our constellations out there we would look up at the heavens and see the same thing and they fit together and sort of chant can wax lyrical about the magic of the aurora for hours and he enjoys doing so i think hes strong on the extreme ends to be caught in the calling catching the no light and then be in the pit the now its warm and everybody you know talking to and some more about the not like its very enriching and lightning hand experience so i would definitely recommend to my friends. Hydrogen. As the solar wind all the extras make the whole thing even more interesting but will the skyline jump. The group wants to be ready to go in case they have two hundred. On their tripod so see how bad zoomed in on i can get as i turn this focusing thing youll see there that gets a little bit sharper but as soon as ive got a person just final adjustments to ensure the guests successfully capture images on that as de constitutes a comb with the. Story the real thing. And you remember to take the picture just trust that for right right ill come back and check on you soon ok second anything let me know. And there they are the north unlocks. Everyone starts snapping pictures guys directly overhead starting to develop right in from the north east i should say the east northeast were starting to get something called a hydrogen arc to take a picture and then you look at it on the screen and if it needs to be adjusted you make those adjustments are. Ok. Nice and still. Are you ready for the long journey to get here has been worthwhile. Three. Nights and still very good looks good. Its qantas. I think its something that it comes from the sky. Well a if you can explain from the scientific part of field but. I think. Its something that we share a spec. And enjoy. Latin is also home to the sami and Indigenous People who inhabit the arctic regions of scandinavia some a culture tradition that revolved around reindeer for centuries the sama lived as nomads and survived life in the cold many are still having difficulty finding their place in modern Swedish Society and not everyone is happy with the attention Northern Lights tourism has brought to the region but others see it as a Business Opportunity given. Those who focus only on winter nights you know who will miss the chance to take in the regions stunning scenery as well as its reindeer theyre an important part of saami culture to truly understand the Indigenous People up here in the north its necessary to understand the love of reindeer. Hakan an ox on is expecting guests hes a reindeer breeder. When tourists first started coming here how khan was concerned about the negative consequences it might have on the environment and local people but now he enjoys telling visitors about sami culture and lifestyle. Not a number of tourists its just right. Its still not in the fleet that had only been that spread out we dont get thousands of people in one place making a lot of noise. Tools clean your teeth and they come in small groups and stay in settled areas with an oxy only road on that that it would be another matter if complexes were built in the middle of nowhere. And give land were used just for that purpose make the news stand still. Such claim. Fifteen holiday makers who booked a tool for today. Ok come over here please. When we used to love. To catch the reindeer. No we dont do like hopefuls what we do is make some loops like this. One intro you go like this. And hopefully the rain in that ring. Old the guests are allowed to give it a try an excursion like this costs around two hundred twenty of was proposed some its something mental income for the saami money they can really use even if in the end hakan has to catch the domesticated reindeer himself. This doesnt have much to do with the real life of the sammy. Ok i didnt want to put a little. Island in play. I thought there were not. Every. Five thousand and some is still live from breeding reindeer and one to the north with us but they dont use traditional rain dia sleds like these anymore although the tourists love the short ride around the corral these days the some of them sos you snowmobiles. Inside a traditional samba love who can show us some insights on how to survive in la plans on limits how to hunt moose for example for a thumb its easy to sound like you may lose what you thought like you moved the sound a Long Distance and therefore you need to hold your hands like this. And the moves are more. Nothe all than me and there for you to hold or feel. Ok all of them out. There with a come. Off or off lot off off off. And then the female and just all the women ah ah ah ah ah was. Not too much. Not so much fish and. Reindeer goulash is a typical dish hakan tells his guests about some of traditions but he doesnt say anything about the Northern Lights theres a reason for that. Because i like this doctor. We just talk about no daylight when its dark and this is not dark yet if you keep the course and we must show the Northern Lights respects away and therefore i dont talk about Northern Lights in daylight writing i just. Heard and thats not just an act. Is deadly serious right now its time to warm their feet and reindeer meet with death fingerless its an adventure to tell family and friends about. This some experience last three hours after that hawk on once again has the labo to himself in his coach of the Aurora Borealis has a mystical quality as a day older lads from leith than the lots of when i was little i was told to have respect for the Northern Lights. Well duh i wasnt allowed to shout a whistle or anything stupid like not when they were visible led from enough of my parents taught me that it was little man man among the language evolved through them so long ago the sonny believed that the lights and ate from the souls of the dead man this was a people who had died in violent tragic way in the old sunsets on fancy some on old gray and. His ancestors perceived the lights in the sky as threatening but he prefers not to tell his guests about that. Those who come to see the Northern Lights in northern sweden often arrive here in kiruna one of the biggest and most important towns in the region and while its possible to see the Northern Lights in karuna to the people around here tend to be more interested he wants below ground and wants up in the sky kiruna is situated above one of the Worlds Largest magnetite appetite deposits mining has been going on here for more than one hundred years and thats going to continue to ensure it can the entire town will be relocated in the coming years. They had wanted to wait for the snow to be gone but the winter in karuna is long this year the first houses are being demolished in the district of spirit which was largely home to families with children. Beaver and col your hon mickey wants the demolition machinery with mixed feelings the neighborhood that was their home for decades will soon cease to exist. Its building something as one demolishing it has another it feels awful. That no one from. Even carl your hand came here almost forty years ago with average temperatures a minus twenty and colder their home was more than just a place to stay during the long pole a winters. It was a council of fortress for more than thirty five years our two children grew up in. The pit operator the state run company l k a b thats procured a new home for them kiruna is a mining town north of the Arctic Circle with a population of twenty three thousand it was founded in the year in one thousand nine hundred the Worlds Largest continuous iron ore deposit lies beneath the town it said the pit is karuna the town wouldnt exist without the iron ore everyday the auris transported from here to nothing by Freight Train novick is the closest ice free pulled on the west coast of norway the fact that the town is threatened by the mining activity became evident when cracks appeared in the ground more than ten years ago those responsible decided the whole town would have to be moved away from the dangerous cracks. This man helped design the new kiruna his model of the town is becoming a reality you hunt kos is aware that hes taking homes away from many people but there are new alternatives he says the value of thick dust on we want to move the whole town two and a half kilometers east in this way there are a variety of reasons for that in this new location would allow us to keep some of the out to districts that are on threatened by the crack. And this location is also secure meaning we wont have to move the town again. Urban planning cost shows us the old wooden chair which it will be destroyed it will be moved into the heart of the town and important to many residents. With her sure goals of the church is our grandest building will dismantle it bit by bit and reassemble it every component has to be labeled nuts absolutely crucial. Theres another highly respected establishments not far from here its said to be demolished the restaurant survives a beer in the black bag its a Meeting Place for those who want ready to go home at the end of the shift if i make he appreciates the hearty home cooked fare with second helpings you know if. I came to kiran area nine hundred seventy fool this restaurant was already head back then it looked different but we always came here for lunch or we bought sandwiches for breakfast. The bat barrys simply part of carolina so they take it or not. But it may not be that way for much longer. That this is a work has restaurant i dont know if anything like this is included in the plans for the new town and the rents will also be much higher than. Mad to peterson doesnt know what will happen yet but she knows the wrecking crew will be right eventually the enormous project is only said to be completed by twenty thirty three the move will cost more than three hundred twenty Million Euros and yet its worth demolishing kiruna and building it again the iron ore deposits should continue to generate huge profits for decades. One person whos not happy about the move is going to sober a local politician and a member of the liberal centrist party so berg is concerned that the new kiruna may be built on contaminated land. Out of the open is me exact there is one stood on the location where they plan to build and there was also a pit that mine water was pumped into the pool it might contain have a metal such as arsenic cobalt nickel and other hazardous substances. But it did fall again none that thus far. Is one of the few critical voices most of the residents accepted to varying degrees eva and carl your one mickey had made a new home for themselves in a neighborhood on the outskirts of town the new place is bigger and not much more expensive we were able to express our wishes about the size of our home and its location the Mining Company tried to take our desires into account it would depended on how long you had been working for the month. Yet but this new flat has to become the new home in a new town. Theyre waiting for the next wave of families to move from the old kiruna. That many scientists studying the Northern Lights even though they significantly impact people all over the world. Whove been brunts through him has been evaluating data in his lab for many years. Her. Every ororo is preceded by a solar storm when the particles of the solar storm reach the earths upper atmosphere force fields are created waves of light can be seen around the north and south poles because the electrons are attracted to the Magnetic Fields that mixed with gases in the atmosphere they do lower the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere determines whether the light appears blue green violet. The most of us we have to understand how not to behave as plus a large proportion of not saying the universe is in the plasma state and that its important to understand how events in space influence us and that they can badly damaged our technical system just from satellites to Radio Systems power lines and pipelines pipelines. There are no words for the effort therefore the cameras are the best tools for scientists to examine and evaluate what happens. And theres a problem if the family shows his love of the Northern Lights although at some point even the most passionate scientist needs a break from the spectacle in the sky. You know my family takes an interest of course and theyve seen the old all run many times but once in a while someone will say hey the Northern Lights were really great yesterday and i dont want to know about it on the day off and that the family of the last. Nevertheless globe on bromst room is captivated by the natural phenomena in the sky even after all these years. Outside kiruna it feels quite desolate. Desolate and nearly impassable. Thats why bromst redmond his colleagues have to complete the final kilometers in snow shoes half a meter of snow fell in recent weeks. The forest is a Winter Wonderland ancient spruce trees and virgin nature. The two scientists from the institute for space physics regularly inspect the small top in the wilderness its vitally important the Northern Lights can be observed very well from this dock location with a special camera thank. You. For studying the all raw obsessed to better understand the solar system in space weather. It can cause problems with technical systems on earth. But first they have to restore the view lebombo runs through my grew up in lapland the ms of child he found the Aurora Borealis fascinating. The Aurora Borealis has become his lifes work. He says the Northern Lights can become addictive. And a few days ago we get that some of very interesting. Its only on this hard drive so we have to make another copy and get it to our lab as quickly as possible a fair look up before. They check their camera and then they take the new data back to the land. Not far from here is one of the most extraordinary places in swedish lapland estrange space center. Its not quite as big as Cape Canaveral in the u. S. State of florida but they launch proper rockets into space here to. Whom brown strum is a regular visitor and becomes to talk shop and have a look at new equipment. And the most on think you know because its never going to help folks know not not as good though i dont think it is. Victor. From india and. Slap. The scientists share information and Work Together especially before iraq it will make them feel good to hear those people and theyre the biggest challenge is ensuring that sold the electronic equipment works and that it doesnt overheat and that the mechanisms work and will feel so much could go wrong but thats why we have to check and double check things constantly. What. Theyve been launching rockets from here since one thousand nine hundred sixty six Civil Research on behalf of the European Space agency with the aim of learning more about the optics atmosphere. Main function that i had a out there had mike but my task is to take measurements on the ground and pictures of the Northern Lights which allow us to create three dimensional images of the light phenomena thank i am for have them and then compare those with the Data Collected in the atmosphere its great the rockets shoot right through the plus. Before launching the rocket they send up a balloon with measuring instruments. Its to determine whether the conditions are in fact ideal. Its looking good. Then its time for the countdown ha ha. Ha. Ha ha. A perfect launch the Research Rocket gathers data and sends it back to Ground Control before it burns up and. The scientists in the control center it as range are at least as proud as that colleagues at nasa. Ones theyve evaluated the results theyre hoping theyll understand the Northern Lights only effect they have on earth even better. The. Expression the behold the experts who claim that in a few years time the Northern Lights wont be so visible to the suns activity will diminish. Nevertheless people will probably continue to travel to these cold northern parts to experience the Northern Lights hes a fascinating and truly unique natural phenomenon and might even that to a friend of mine. When the sky lights up like this it captivates everyone its impossible not to be fascinated by this incredible spectacle. Their songs are dance floor hits. Their fans are found around the world. Their careers been full of ups and downs. And explosive look at the world of cost cutting. A special. Limited dilute. The sling and the fresh good i may speak your language to talk about them.
