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

📷Nikon D7500 - ISO 250 - Nikkor 18-200mm lens f3.5-5.6 G - 24mm - f/5,0 13,0 sec

➡️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.

4. Arktisk Alpin Botanisk Have

Tromsø Arktisk-alpine Botaniske Hage anses for at være verdens nordligst beliggende botaniske have. Det er sin sag at drive en botanisk have på denne unikke beliggenhed, eftersom jorden er dækket af sne syv måneder om året. Oplev planter fra Svalbards øde, frosne gletsjere.

5. Tromsö-universitetsmuseum

Tromsø Museum – Universitetsmuseet er det største museum nord for polarcirklen, og det består af fire offentlige udstillingsafdelinger. Det exceptionelle museum byder bl.a. på en udstilling om det finske urfolk Samerne, der har hjemme i det arktiske Sápm-område. Tag en slentretur gennem Tromsø Arktisk-alpine Botaniske Hage, og hør den spændende historie om, hvordan havens planter klarer henholdsvis meterhøje snedriver og sommerens brændende midnatssol. Den gamle sælfangerbåd, MS Polstjerna, har også fået plads på museet.
