Joanna Lumley in the Land of the Northern Lights - Part 5

[@johnhaxby306]

I have never been happier for someone to see something they always wanted to see...I want to see them too!!

[@IrishEyes1989]

The lights were indescribably gorgeous. When Joanna started crying, I almost did as well because you know that the desire in her heart to see this natural wonder was so incredibly genuine and humble. If I ever see them in real life myself, I'll most certainly cry.

[@JeanetteSitton]

Joanna Lumley, is one of our British sweethearts. I watched the whole series when it was on tv and, I've watched it several times since. Joanna is so moved by the Northern Lights, that the viewer can't help to become emotionally attached and share her overwhelming joy. Gorgeous lady.

[@rememberthisnameslut]

No camera lens can do the lights justice. I would give almost anything to see them again. Simply the most beautiful and alluring thing I've ever seen in my entire life

[@kendahke]

I'm in tears here, so happy she got to see the lights.

[@chrisstevenson5378]

I might be critically ill, but I'm on a wonderful vacation with Joanna. I wish it could last forever.

[@theresa2245]

I love Joanna Lumley! Never ever leave this planet! Please. We will never be the same without you. Many Blessings to you!! And I love you.

[@rickyseabra]

I saw this video when it aired on BBC. It's one of the greatest pieces of video ever.

[@jasman71]

For those thinking it looks fake, it's because the footage of her standing under the lights is not direct filming via video camera, it is a movie made up from constant time exposures from a digital camera, because the lights themselves were not bright enough to show up on the movie cameras. By taking 10 to 30 second exposures on a dslr and then stringing them altogether, the resulting images appear almost animated : if you watch Joanna she appears to move suddenly from her positions, giving the time exposures away. Hope that helps :)

[@JayFal68]

I love the bit when the moon comes out and you can see the cottages by the water. It's looks so fantastic and so unreal.

[@storybellz]

I wish I was at least part Norwegian, so that I could claim that heavenly place as my own. I so love it!! This has been the most magnificent doc I've EVER seen!

[@irishsetterarchie]

Someone once asked me what I would want to see most in this world before having to leave it!! This was one of those things I wanted to see. It is doubtful I will make the trip myself so I must say this was the closest I may come to seeing the Northern Lights!! I cried with you my dear. It was simply breathtaking! Thank you so much for sharing this with me!!! God bless.

[@duben55]

Darling Joanna !! I'm sitting here, crying of happiness! Thank you for this!...and Grieg! The wonder of wonders: you and all the beauty !

[@timmieyea]

her voice is so soothing, she seems like a nice lady

[@kattoneycliffe6715]

All 6 parts were exquisite to watch! Thank you!

[@ovh992]

This is like watching a beautiful happy opera! 🌹🌹🌹

[@greenrevolutionmusic5407]

This is very emotional. Hope I can fulfill my childhood dream too

[@shoolkurt]

I love Joanna's reaction to seeing the northern lights, very touching, I wish I could see them too one day :)

[@JayFal68]

How beautiful are the northern lights. I watched this programme and I would love to see them myself. I love scenery too and how beautiful is Norway.

[@DRAINPIPE57]

This part of tnis fascinating travel documentary is so inmense and awe inspiring to watch and can feel Joanna whole world of discovery in this fascinating film Well done I. Love scandinavia

[@Louisesvideos]

Breathtakingly beautiful! The lights and Grieg's music get me every time!

[@hemiolaguy]

Ms. Lumley is an amazing woman and a wonderful actress. I'm very happy that she got her lifelong dream to see the aurora.

[@eneroocho3471]

she's so excited..!!i'm jealous..i want to see that lights too..

[@arthur4934]

This is so cool. Its also my wish to see them. A great wonder of the natural world. JL is legend in the UK.

[@rudaclan]

Once, where I live in northern Sweden, the northern lights got so strong that you could hear it snap and crackle.

[@LoveAsianCulture]

Yes, electric discharge against our magnificent Dome! The lights originate from the earth itself hitting the Dome and what is seen is a reflection

[@SHINYamAHA21]

one more wish list. wow....emotional...phenomenon... Thanks Joanna Lumley!

[@jasman71]

@AuroraBorealisful on the dvd release they say that the scenes where she is visible in the foreground watching them, were all shot on 2 DSLR cameras, each shooting maybe 4 or 5 second exposures, then they put them all together. The scenes of her reactions were filmed on HD camera and she was lit by a little battery torch - just to make her visible :) They also said some footage was slowed down to try to show the intricacies of the movements. Fantastic programme :))

[@christoschristof]

Watching this amazing footage and at the same time wondering...Would I be ever so lucky as Johanna was to lay eyes upon such a beautiful canvas of playing green lights?

[@emilyhutjes]

2019 -> you have made me speechless, so beautiful these series. Thank you all.

[@philhipp7766]

I'm so very happy for her that she was having her lifelong dream fullfilled!

[@THE_MIGHTY_DROG-69d]

nice vid

[@sharontaber4519]

Sitting in a darkened room in order to see better, crying along with Joanna.

[@morphou8548]

I love the moment,when the Magic takes her away,and she dont cares anymore about the cameras and the Team...very moving...i cryed with her.

[@lovelisasumera]

The other side of Patsy! Broadcasted last year on Dutch tv but this gives me goosebumps, tears in my eyes and make me feel completely happy! Wonderful! Bless you Joanna, i love you!

[@belovedtwilight41]

I've watched the entire session of this documentary and it was absolutely fabulous!

[@wengcanz6281]

Wow! thank you for taking us there

[@larry4x]

The music is from Peer Gynt. Solveig's Song. listen to Marita Solbergs version. amazing

[@janning]

I was lucky enough to see a spectacular aurora in Tromso a few years ago and was just as wobbly-lipped and misty-eyed as Joanna....a jaw dropping experience that words can't describe Without any reservation I can recommend a trip to the far north during the dark months...and to keep your fingers crossed

[@ovh992]

I mean i would want to cry if i experienced this but wouldn't your tears freeze your eyeballs?

[@mieberggaard]

I am norwegian and have seen the northern lights, but it wasn't nearly as beautiful as this. Probably because I was in the south of Norway and not this far north xD This was simply magnificent

[@myriamashanti7277]

damn, (-_-) i cried when i see these light in the sky, this the first time of my life i see this, this is so beautiful

[@spcm2]

My wonderful and lovelly Norway! I´m from Portugal but Norway is the country I admire the most, not only for the breathtaking landscapes but also and mainly because of the way norwegians live, with a deep respect for nature. I think they are a level above all of us.

[@bjrnjensen7074]

Muito obrigado. Greetings from Oslo.

[@spcm2]

@@bjrnjensen7074 jeg elsker dette landet!

[@wandajames6234]

stunning lights, so glad for her

[@sashlebonk]

WOW! SOOO AMAZING NORTHERN LIGHTS! (IN CAPITALS!) They're dancing in the sky, so extraordinary! Isn't nature so fascinating!?

[@european742]

I can assure you that although some parts are time lapses and sped up, a lot of it is genuine. I went on a trip to Tromsø in Feb 2014 taking the train from Trondheim to Bodø then flying to Tromsø and the scenery and people were amazing but there was one reason I came and I got the result I hoped for! What started as a small green strip which going by the forecast was the best we were likely to see, after a bit of patience the sky exploded in green, I truly felt as she did with a tear in my eye amazed and couldn't believe what I was seeing, would recommend it to anyone!

[@delboyinoz1]

You lucky person. I cannot think of anything better to see than this.

[@allegri9cl]

She was speaking words right out of my mind when she saw the light. I see shes such a naturelover. A s when the sky turned green and starsshone moon shone it was sooo beautiful. Glad that she accomplished one of her dreams

[@ComplicatedCupcake]

Touching! Joy and tears.

[@cphmadsen]

I felt the same giving it away happiness, and freedom, and thankfulness to witness this myself as I sense Joanna did here- and truly said the same: Now I can die happily - my God - that happiness she reflects - I share that - I wish the same for all of you - one cannot understand while watching this Aurora Borealis at night, why we people has to suffer so much - we should try a little harder to live in harmony

[@carina5592]

Sooooo beautiful !!!

[@SarahFrench-x3w]

The northern lights are beautiful.

[@sashlebonk]

Thanks for sharing Joanna!

[@bushcraftandastronomer.3775]

I've seen it under light pollution! Mother nature knew I wanted to see her show. Thank you mother nature!!!!

[@wellscot]

You're so lucky . That's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I watched in HD when the programme was on tv. Spectacular eilif

[@AnnLiOz]

Bloody beautiful. I wish I could see it for myself.

[@eilif9]

I live in Norway, we see northern light (aurora borealis) quite often. And i can tell you that this video is not far from how it actually looks in reality :-)

[@florisartis]

Come on, it looks amazing in real but in a different way. its fainter then vid/foto colors anyway , i've seen blasts, and its ofcourse amazing to experience... but lets be honest for all these people behind screesn who think this is reallity ! . starting : the green and pink is always 3x more on cam screen ... and the colors and diafragma are in this vid so overrrrsaturated here in this video . and effects and cuttings are on top of it even. this is just really photoshop / videoshopped my god so obviously.

[@coralarch]

Definitely on my list of Must See before I die.

[@pauldyer4773]

Thank you, indeed.

[@koreanature]

Wow, My best friend, I liked the video very much, thanks you for sharing, stay safe, stay blessed

[@thierrydevant7690]

She's the best.

[@2003mistyhorizon]

Amazing, I had to look for this footage here so I could show it to my parents, (having first seen it on TV).

[@pascalemathieu7934]

Thank you

[@MsBambi6]

wow... dankeschön ,es ist so wunderschön

[@CountTheSaints]

I've also wanted to see the northan lights but i very much doubt i will get to see them im always of to hot places it would be an extraordinary adventure. My dad has always wanted to see them to so hopefully i will see the one day. This must of been one of the most amazing journeys of Joanna's life what an wonderful experience...

[@christinewannell9667]

My geography teacher always tked about the Northern Lights and I have been so fascinated by them all my life. Such a beautiful programme, thank you Joanna, such an amazing programme!

[@spcm2]

Like someone said: "No pencil can draw it, no colours can paint it, and no words can describe it in all its magnificence". Jeg elsker Norge og Nordlys!

[@silverstartrucker]

Joanna is the voice of AOL and she has a divine voice to go with the beautiful Aurora Borealis.

[@romeoperez8663]

i agree...i love her divine voice as if Im seeing the northern lights the way she utter words

[@Blgbecky]

This is amazing

[@kayray4717]

Had to come back to this with our beautiful Joanna Lumley. What's the name of the Opera music playing please?

[@bpostnicks]

Soooo lucky I’m happy for you, I think I would feel exactly like you ❤️

[@glampurpleglitter]

Just spectacular

[@Kowalski301]

@AuroraBorealisful Northern light is definitely not visible most nights all year. In the summer you can't see it because of the midnight sun (daylight 24/7) The best month are usually october and february-march.

[@bosse641]

Magical lights.

[@maj6190]

The Aurora is incredibly beautiful to witness. Until I saw them, I didn't know that they move. It's like a dance or a parade of angels moving between heaven and earth.

[@evabosaite]

these comments are incredibly old indeed, allow me, I am using this documentary for homework and it is so so informative!

[@marjanneke1983]

Just finished watching the very moving documentary "Joanna Lumley in the land of the Northern Lights"....Start looking at min. 04.00 and prepare to be amazed....

[@rvsc2277]

THANKS FOR SHARING I 'VE SEEN THE NORTHERN LIGHTS TOO. THE EARTH IS ALIVE SHOWING ITS WONDER. THE BEAUTIFUL PLANET. TAKE CARE WELETE, FROM BOBBY PHILIPPINES.

[@theloweroad]

In the opening scene, Joanna says she is there in March

[@khairul143]

omg. one of the best documentaries i ever watched i am yearning to see the Northern Lights. Im really sorry to say but is there a camera trick because the surrounding Joanna Lumley was in its different each time. i apologize again.

[@Jeeves574]

Some footage seemingly doctored - I imagine they probably did see the lights, but not on a good night so it probably wasn't terribly cinematic.

[@padderz]

Pretty similar to how I saw them...doubt anything is doctored

[@Sweetforthesoul]

"PATSY STONE AND I HOPE YOU'RE EARING THICK PANTS" couldn't help it, just thoght of abfab when she put on that suit :p

[@Saurucow]

Its almost impossible to capture the aurora on film. This is due to the shutter speed of the camera and the amount of light it can capture. You will only see a black sky, almost regardless on how bright the aurora is when filming with a camera. This is why they have to take long exposure pics and string them together. It might brighter then it is in reality, but its the only way to fully capture the northern lights on film. So its not ridiculous, but simply the only way.

[@Emogal1991]

am so jealous :/ lol i want to go see them as well have done since forever lol

[@raymondbautista1410]

In a way, you can say the Aurora is the soul of this planet manifesting itself.

[@emilyhutjes]

Heavenly lights. 2019

[@nasimabegum2770]

Joana Lumley love and respect for you. In creation ,only Creator is matters. Reach that high, you will and all find the absolute truth

[@Kowalski301]

@tigersteve1 This was recorded early march, but february is just as good, but the weather can be a bigger challenge compared to march.

[@entrips6757]

what month was this taken

[@JD-qt1sh]

once you see the Northern Lights in live, you will always saying; I´ll be back. its miracules...

[@AntoniaVassila]

Please tell me the conductor of this music. It is devine, I think its not a good idea the actresses voice interrupting sorry for that.

[@MrCuddlyable3]

@Antonia Vassila Please enjoy "Solveig's Song" by Edvard Grieg to your heart's content, here played by the Slovak Philharmonic. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIOWf2Svd6p6mNk Learn to spell "divine" and get over the fact that BBC chose a well known piece as IMHO appropriate background music. This video is not a concert just for you.

[@74jmb]

what is the name of the piece by Grieg?

[@brannlyn]

From 7:15 it's absolutely amazing

[@numb1010]

you should have payed attention to the video... it has nothing to do with temperature, but how dark it is

[@larry4x]

The music is from

[@TheKevy1]

I need to return to Tromso, last year I took my girlfriend for 3 nights and had bad weather so only saw a very weak green lights on one night after driving for hours, I must see what Joanna saw, I know its never guaranteed but I must try, anyone who know what fjord he drove her to?? I know it wasnt near Tromso, please let me know??

[@brannlyn]

It's Grieg - Solveig's song ;)

[@robotone2812]

The northern lights at 360p resolution. Ugh.

[@naomineeds]

@tigersteve1 early march :)

[@florisartis]

happy for her. i've also been happy with shows, and it looks amazing in real but in a different way. its fainter then vid/foto colors anyway , i've seen blasts curling down , and its ofcourse amazing to experience... but lets be honest for all these people behind screens who desperetely think this is reallity ! . starting : the green and pink is always 3x more on cam screen , always! ... and the colors and diafragma are in this vid so overrrrsaturated here in this video (highlighting around 7:30 ) . ...effects and fading edits are on top of it even ! this is just really photoshop / videoshopped my god so obviously.

[@cogidubnus1953]

You're confronted with one of the most beautiful phenomena known to man...presented by one of the most beautiful and alluring women ever...and all you can do is abuse one another...oh jeez grow up and sniff the coffee!

[@mjb4983]

Tromso will make you understand
