No: Da de nærmet seg Tromsø, ble himmelen mørk, men på den beste måten – den som lover et fantastisk nordlys-show.

En: "We did it," said Kari with a big smile.
No: Sindre nikket, tok et dypt pust og fylte lungene med den kalde nordluften.
En: Sindre nodded, took a deep breath, and filled his lungs with the cold northern air.
No: "Ja, vi gjorde det.
En: "Yes, we did it.
No: Og det var verdt hver bekymring.
En: And it was worth every worry."
No: " Mens de stod der og beundret naturens spektakulære show, visste Sindre at denne reisen ikke bare hadde vært en mulighet til å se nordlysene, men også en læring i å la lille vinden styre i stormen.
