Did not see the northern lights because they are a winter phenomenon but have tons of photos of the midnight sun. At the risk of boring you rigid I have attached some below. They were all taken after 10.30pm and some after midnight on 8 July so only 2 weeks or so after the solstice.
Picture 1 We went on a coach trip to the north cape and it was so misty when we got there we couldn't see a thing.
2 It soon cleared up to show us this
3 The monument at the north cape
4 Another spectacular sky
5 We hadn't seen these motorhomes in the mist! Apparently a very popular spot for them. We hope to do the trip one day in our van
6 Those reindeer again!
7 Our cruise ship waiting for us to come back
8 Pilot boat at midnight
9 Cloudscape
10 About as low as the sun gets
As for the fjords - spectacular but boring. Seen one, seen em all - my opinion only.
