Norway and the northern lights

One of Alister Chapmans regular trips is to Arctic Norway in the winter to film the Northern Lights. This year when he went 200miles north of the Arctic circle the temperature got down to -36c (-33f). So cold in fact that one of his camera rain covers shattered like glass. Despite the cold he was able to get amazing footage of the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis by using the slow shutter and timelapse features of his XDCAM EX cameras. Being solid state cameras they were not as affected by the cold as a tape camera would be. In fact the only issue he encountered was the LCD display becoming a little sluggish, but then what do you expect when it's colder than the average deep freeze!

@SagginWillies, that's very rude. Even if you are right that didn't need to be said. Your clearly a biget and oviously has no idea that diversity is what makes the world and it's countries soo interesting. Your missing out on a lot by thinking that way and I feel sorry for you. ;)

@paulboon We are actually about to hit 5mill in the coming year i think. Many people might consider norwegians to be a cold and rude people, and that might even be true. But would you not become a little bit inward from spending over half a year mostly inside each year? We're not used to having to care about people, and those we have to care about are just like us so they understand. Norwegians takes some getting used to

Northern Lights is actually light emitting out from the opening in the Earth at the North Pole. The light comes from the Earths inner sun.
