🌌Northern Lights over Tromsø - Tromsø - Troms - Norway🇳🇴

➡️A couple of weeks I wrote a caption explaining the Northern Lights from a scientific view👨‍🔬, now it is time for the legends surrounding this amazing spectacle:

📜According to one legend, Odin, the chief god and ruler of Asgard, lived in Valhalla, where he was preparing for Ragnarök. This event was predestined and would be Odin’s greatest battle⚔️, so he needed the bravest warriors at his side. During every battle on Earth, Odin would pick the warriors who would die and join him in Valhalla. The Valkiries👸 were female warriors on horseback. who wore armour and carried spears and shields🛡️, were tasked with leading Odin’s chosen warriors to Valhalla. The Vikings believed the Northern Lights🌌 illuminating the sky were the reflections of the Valkyrie’s armour🛡️ as they led the warrior to Odin.

📜In several other legends, they claim the Northern Lights🌌 were the breath of brave soldier who died in combat or they were believed to be the Bifrost Bridge🌈, a glowing, pulsing arch which led fallen warriors to the their final resting place in Valhalla.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦But for the Sámi people, the Northern Lights🌌 didn’t tell stories of heroism and bravery, they believed that they were the souls of the dead💀, and they were to be feared and respected in equal measure, so you shouldn’t talk🗣️ about them or even waving👋, whistling😗 or singing🎶 under them, as this would alert the lights to your presence and carry you up to the sky⬆️. Nowadays, many Sámi people stay in their homes🏠 when the Northern Lights are illuminating the sky🌌.

❓Did you know that that Norway has more English speakers than Canada? 76% of the Canadian population speaks English while 86% of the Norwegians make use of the English language for communication.

"We stayed in a Superior room which had a great view over the harbour. The bed was comfortable, plenty of hot water and a good shower. The only negative was the carpet, which was a little worn but to be honest with the view it really didn't matter! The booking included breakfast and a light dinner. Breakfast was a buffet with with hot and cold options and plentiful. Dinner was more limited but there was still plenty to eat. If you want a vegetarian dish then book at reception and the cook will prepare one for you. The hotel was in a perfect location for the city and tours. Highly recommend this hotel if you're planning a visit to Tromsø."

"Room and hotel were spotless , staff so friendly and helpful. Could not be in a more convenient location right on the harbor to walk town and catch tours. The view from our family room was absolutely amazing. Breakfast was abundant with choices and delicious. Sky bar was lovely. Enjoyed our stay from beginning to end! Would return in a heartbeat next we are in Tromso. "
