Arctic Studies Students visit SGO

Yesterday we had the pleasure of welcoming the students of the Arctic Studies Programme of the University of Lapland at SGO. Above the group photo in front of the 32-m EISCAT VHF radar receiver antenna. The students were very interested in our observatory. They had specifically asked for a presentation on the topic of light in the Arctic and in general, which was at the same time a challenge and lots of fun to prepare. Of course one part of it was an introduction to the science of the Northern Lights.
