\n\t\t\t\tKjetil Skogli is one of the most experienced Northern Lights hunters in Northern Norway. Northern Lights holidays in Northern Norway really took off when he guided the British diva, Joanna Lumley, to a fantastic Northern Lights display which was seen by six million viewers when broadcast on British TV for the first time. Few in Northern Norway have more experience in finding Aurora than Kjetil.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n

Imagine sitting for seven or eight hours in a car in pitch-black darkness in a landscape with not a soul around, 350 kilometres (217 miles) north of the Arctic Circle, just to get a glimpse of the Northern Lights. And not even being guaranteed to see them? Hunting the lights through the winter nights has become a veritable epidemic in Northern Norway, but Kjetil Skogli in Troms\u00f8 was one of the very first to launch the idea of mobile Northern Lights hunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BBC joined an aurora hunt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2008, Kjetil was the Northern Lights guide for the BBC when they were filming the quest for the elusive lights with the British actress and campaigner, Joanna Lumley. Early in March, Joanna Lumley was filmed at Sp\u00e5kenes near Lyngenfjorden, when she was granted the opportunity to see a fantastic Northern Lights display in shimmering green, white, pink and deep violet. The reality far exceeded what the cameras were able to capture, and even veteran Kjetil was impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n
