Joanna Lumley in The Land of The Northern Lights

An amazing journey in Norway's far North as award-winning actress Joanna Lumley (Absolutely Fabulous) pursues a lifelong dream to track down the elusive, stunningly beautiful Northern Lights - "the true wonder of the world," as she puts it. Joanna grew up in tropical Malaysia, and as a little girl never saw snow or felt cold. Inspired by fairytales and picture books, she always longed to make the journey north. At last she travels north across the Arctic Circle, up through Norway to Svalbard, the most northerly permanently inhabited place on Earth, where she has to cope with temperatures approaching minus 30 degrees centigrade.
