Great Escapes: ABISKO

Braving and completely unprepared for minus 37 degrees celsius, the Betty Wants In crew traveled to see the Northern Lights in Abisko, Sweden on a whim. In spite of cameras freezing, their heaviest clothes being jeans and a basic jacket,  they followed a few new friends for the handful of daylight hours each day, and captured their stories and reasons for living in Abisko.
