them are simply overwhelmed. who are almost two hundred kilometers north of the arctic circle at kew roulette ampoules originally built to support the mining industry these days most of the arrivals are coming to work on the contrary jack hong for instance is a chinese student on holiday. the journey continues by bus. people 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. off got to see an awesome lightning or not and i have some thoughts on that and almost every out of place man i can never sit here and i just want to say that i was. my whole life and i think that's where. the new arrivals are surprised by the doc knows it's just two in the afternoon but it's already pitch black outside it's the polar night. and. their accommodation is cozy with simple rustic chalk. it's like a better quality youth hostel. and that's no wonder because it's run by the swedish youth hostel association. it's the top choice in town and it's being booked out for months. its northern lights season in. black part of the a pony and gate that's what they call this u. shaped valley it's a point of focus for visitors to lapland. the mountains and sure the few clouds obscure the view of the northern lights. it's necessary to travel quite far north to see the northern lights the area around all biscoe is situated in the wide expanses of lapland and that's north enough. freight trains from kiruna transport iron ore to the port of narvik otherwise not much goes on up here. roughly one hundred residents who will be scooped live directly on the railway line . in the evening almost everyone in town meets of the only bar that means tourists and those who profit from the presence it's only recently that holiday makers started coming to see the northern lights and it was newcomers who recognized the economic potential of the celestial display the first time i saw the northern lights something in my brain changed something in mile it changed and i think that's a reason people come here shares because when you see the northern lights for the first time. it makes you feel small it may show 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. good in your world every moment that truly aren't that big and when you see nature at its finest and that's what they are or it's. it puts everything into perspective and for me obviously has changed my perspective on life. now some fifteen thousand visitors make their way to a boost through every year to see the northern lights it's a very troubled boom that's good for the local businesses which now make decent money all winter long. it may be minus twenty degrees celsius but should blakely has to go to repair the webcam it broadcasts images of the northern lights all around the world the most recent footage was blue. very. i had to come up here tonight to adjust the settings the infinity focus was off just a tiny bit and i'm bit of a perfectionist so i wanted it to look perfect. chant blakeley is an american who's lived here for eight years captivated by the northern lights he and his swedish wife came up with an idea that transformed winds in a biscuit. on a good night we can have many many many thousands of people from all over the world looking at these pictures so i feel a bit of a responsibility to make sure that it stays running as people that don't have the ability to come to school get to see us through the eye of the winds. chad blakeley of his photography courses and even provides cameras for the participants. guys my name is chad i'm going to be your guide tonight i'm going to be your storyteller your fire maker your aurora photographic teacher here your guy that teaches you a bit about space i'm going to make you a warm drink and hopefully we're all going to have a really nice hot or like a sail show this women are almost entirely from asia one couple is from singapore and really hope that we can make use of the camera and take. aurora isn't super cool commit to where we come from. it's nice to to experience such with the ones in a way. that this kind of cool so i thought with the flow. walking towards. then trying out into the darkness with chant it's not a 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 and point the camera this way and you'll start to get your first aurora photographs but the reason we're going to experiment with those exposures is to see which exposure level you like the most you roar is not super strong right now. now so as i turn right slowly slowly slowly it gets nice and sharp and now we turn the light you back off and once that's 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 the legs were in finland right we were surprised that you can actually see it like what you saw in the pictures really only could i but with the camera you know you can see much more clearly so you can go back to your friend and say well you were sitting on the couch i took a picture of another world. because the skies don't chant provides an alternative program and everyone should feel the trip was worth it there we go on three one two three don't move. we also learn more about the stuff actually about the new pee-wee about the different styles and how you should read the pictures such that got us into such because if it's just like everyone else we might use it but it's like you know see our right at the pieces. so maybe you know a nice vacation you might want to try and look in the southern part of the woods and in a social be recorded australia. still. they're a little disappointed it's a long way to travel to look at a dark sky that's not why they came to a business who. you know the highland chant and his wife linea offer tourists a variety of other options in addition to photo tools. cleared up and yes from clan who went cammies working perfectly again now that chats fixed that. i put up a picture on facebook this morning and in the last hour and a half it's been seen six thousand five hundred forty two from. the knights anton wilson and when you look here it's fun while it's yes and up she actually. has become known around the world thanks to the internet from someone that had a really snowy night last night so it's easy to get a great review and there are going strong and on the slow nights you. or. in the evening chad wants to present the northern lights to his guests at last it's gotten even colder and windy and there's nothing to see yet but plenty to talk about. right here a lot of times when we can explain something we don't understand something we immediately go to the spirit. if orion or constellation is out there we would look up at the heavens and see the same thing and it would make a school together and it sort of but chad can wax lyrical about the magic of the aurora for hours and he enjoys doing so i think he's strong in an area experienced to be caught in that calling catching them off in the light and then be in the pit the know it's warm and everybody you know talking and then to run somewhere about the not the light it's very enriching in a lightning pound experience so i would definitely recommend to my friends. hydrogen's for. 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 to hunt. on their tripod so see how i'd soon do not yet as i turn this focusing. you'll see there that gets a little bit sharper but as soon as i've got a person. that they know the north and locks. everyone starts snapping pictures i was directly overhead starting to develop right in from the north east i should say the east northeast we're 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. nice and still. are you ready for the long journey to get here has been worthwhile. three. nights and still very good looks good. this qantas. i think is something that accounts from the sky. well if you can explain from the scientific point of field but. i think. it's something that i'm sure small. and enjoy. a. world. war. those who focus solely on winter nights you know who will miss the chance to take in the region stunning scenery as well as its reindeer they're an important part of summing culture to truly understand the indigenous people up here in the north it's necessary to understand the love of reindeer. hakan and knocks on is expecting guests these a reindeer breed. 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. more the number of tourists is just right it's still managing their fleet that had only that spread out we don't get thousands of people in one place making a lot of noise while she was cleaning your teeth and they come in small groups and stay in settled areas or oaks they only rode on that that it would be another matter if complexes were built in the middle of nowhere on assault and you have land where used just for that purpose make the stand still or. something. fifteen holiday makers have booked a tool for today. ok come over here three. when we used to love. to catch the reindeer. no we don't do my call because what we do is make some moves like these. let's roll you do like the. home front of the range in that three and. the guests are allowed to give it to try. an excursion like this costs around two hundred twenty of us but person it's 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 doesn't have much to do with the real life of the sammy. i. hate the fact that once it was all. i felt like. i fought for it. every. five thousand samas still live from breeding reindeer and one to the north with us but they don't use traditional rain dhea sleds like these anymore although the tourists love the short ride around the corral these days the some of them so's 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 song it's easy to sound like you may lose what you felt like you moved the sound a long distance and therefore you need to hold your hands like this. and the moves are more nothing all that me and definitely do hold a female. ok older. than with a come. oh or ought off off off. and then the female and just all the women ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah i was. not so much. not so much fat in that. reindeer goo an ash is a typical dish how can tells his guests about some of traditions but he doesn't say anything about the northern lights there's a reason for that. because they like this doctor. we just talk about no daylight when it's dark and this is not dark yet if you keep the course and we must show the northern lights respects away and therefore i don't know the lights but in daylight writing i just. entered and that's not just going to act. is deadly serious right now it's time to warm that feet and reindeer meet with f. ing s. it's an adventure to tell family and friends about. this some experience last three hours after the tacan once again has the labo to himself in his coach of the aurora borealis has a mystical quality so they only have lads from the in the lots of when i was little i was told to have respectful the northern lights. well then i wasn't allowed to shout or whistle or anything stupid like not when they were visible there for me enough for my parents taught me that feeling was a little man man among the language evocative and so long ago the sammy believed that the lights and then ate from the souls of the dead. man this was a lot of people who had died in violent and tragic way in the world something that's all. so long old green. his ancestors perceived the lights in the sky as threatening but he prefers not to tell he's guests about that. many scientists studying the northern lights even though they significantly impact people all over the world. world. one bromst room has been evaluating data in his mom for many years. her. every aura is preceded by a solar storm when the particles of the solar storm reach the feds up the 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 are mixed with gases in the atmosphere they glow the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere determines whether the like appears blue or green you know violet. the most efficient we have to understand how not to behave as plus a large proportion of not saying the universe is in the blast missed and it's important to understand how events in space influence us and they can badly damaged our technical system goes from satellites to radio systems power lines and pipelines pipelines also via. that all they want for their for their for the cameras are the best tools. the scientists who examine and evaluate what happens. if there's a problem ia. family shares his love of the northern lights although at some point even the most passionate scientists needs a break from the spectacle in the sky. you know my family takes an interest of course and they've 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 don't want to know about it i'm not the day off that the family of a loss. nevertheless 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. that's why i will bum bromst redmond his colleagues have to complete the final kilometers in snowshoes 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 hop in the wilderness it's vitally important the northern lights can be observed very well from this dock location with a special camera. thank. you . but first they have to restore the view. browns the room grew up in lapland him as a child he found the aurora borealis fascinating. and. the aurora borealis has become his life's work. he says the northern lights can become addictive. not far from here is one of the most extraordinary places in swedish lapland s range space and. it's not quite as big as cape canaveral in the u.s. state of florida but they launch proper rockets into space here to. brown's drum is a regular visitor becomes to talk shop and have a look at new equipment to. think you know because and if i'm still in london that night after the realms of this. and the victor. from india in the fall of the slept. the scientists share information and work together especially before iraq and all of them will look if you. leave and they're the biggest challenge is ensuring that sold the electronic equipment works or not it doesn't overheat and that the mechanisms work so. much could go wrong but that's why we have to check and double check things constantly i guess what if. they've been launching rockets from here since one nine hundred sixty six civil research on behalf of the european space agency with the aim of learning more about the optics atmosphere. made for a film that i had there to have 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 it's great the rockets shoot right through the plus mapping out. before launching the rocket they send up a balloon with measuring instruments. it's to determine whether the conditions are in fact ideal. it's looking good. then it's time for the countdown ah. ah. ah. you. perfect launch the research rocket gathers data and sends it back to ground control before it burns up. the scientists in the control center as range are at least as proud as that colleagues at nasa. once they've evaluated the results they're hoping they're. understand the northern lights only effect they have on earth even better. when the sky lights up like this it captivates everyone it's impossible not to be fascinated by this incredible spectacle. the big . bang and. the fast pace of life in the digital shift as the lowdown on the west showing new developments and providing useful information the witness finds and interviews with the makers and users. next on the. campaign news alice message gets cancelled. it's a call to shake it up the food is kind of him over the side but.
