One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Sailed up into the Arctic Circle mid December in a flat calm sea. Permanent darkness, almost no roll on the ship and absolute silence then the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) began to light up the sky. Such a surreal, mesmeric experience that we lost all sense of time - and temperature!!
