After breakfast, a small group of us went snowmobile. I drove and Pat sat behind me. It was very icy, so we took it fairly slow. We went through some low forest and swamp areas. On the way back, I cut around some water (as did everyone else) and tipped over the snowmobile. We were ok, but those things are heavy, and the rest of the group had to help us right it.
We progressed without further incidents to the starting point.
After a shower, our professor talked about the science of auroras-sunspots, electrons, magnetic fields and quantum physics. Then the resident photographer told how to effectively photograph the Northern Lights.
After supper, we're going snowshoeing in the dark. It's quite cloudy so probably no viewing tonight.
