  1. I really like the part at the end where they show the real life northern lights. Thanks for putting that on the blog, I really enjoyed the video.

  2. Did you know that I’ve seen the northern lights before when I lived in Edmonton? I hope I get to see them again next summer when we go to Alberta and Saskatchewan.
