As night descends upon the Arctic, our snowmobiles roar to life, marking the start of an exhilarating journey. Veering into the tranquil wilderness, our path is illuminated by starlight and potential glows of the Aurora Borealis. While the Northern Lights are a spectacle we aspire to witness, their occurrence is a gift from nature and not guaranteed.
