When staying at the Eliassen Rorbuer cabins at Hamnoy in the Lofoten Islands a popular night time pursuit is to sit out and wait for the Northern Lights to appear. On each clear night folk would get their chairs and provisions and walk the fifty or so yards to the fjord and wait for - hope for - the aurora. Nothing can be guaranteed, of course, and on this particular night there was nothing to see but the stars.
