Stuck in the snow under the Northern Lights

We left Saturday evening when the night came. We got stuck around 23h. There was some Northern Lights, but very weak. After a few hours trying to get unstuck though, they became quite strong. Finally at 4am we decided to get some sleep and continued digging the next morning after a few hours of sleep. It was getting close to 12h when we finally got past those 10m or so of deep snow.

First stop, first photo, with no idea that we were going to get stuck there for hours...

... and spend the night under the full moon and the Northern Lights.

The car deep in the snow. To give an idea, the tires are almost 90cm high.
