Someday guide

From Wikipedia: Norway (Norwegian: Norge or Noreg) is the westernmost, northernmost — and surprisingly also the easternmost — of the three Scandinavian countries. Norway is known for the complex and deep fjords along its west coast, as well as the midnight sun and Northern Lights. Mainland Norway stretches from the North Sea near Denmark and Scotland to borders with northern Finland and the northwestern tip of Russia, and has a long border with Sweden to the east. Norway also includes the Svalbard islands in the Arctic.

Note to self

Come to Bergen for access to the fjords. Seeing the northern lights, or the aurora borealis, as they are also known, is a jaw-dropping and mystical moment. Perhaps here given the remoteness you will see them clearly (I didn't have much luck in Reykjavík). The lights are at their most frequent in late autumn and winter/early spring.
