The waiting game builds our character

JOANNA Lumley spent her childhood in hot and humid Malaysia and read a book called Ponny the Penguin.   The northern lights  was the most beautiful scene Ponny had ever seen in her life. After reading that,  former Bond girl Joanna knew she had to experience what Ponny saw:  the northern lights, or aurora borealis, which are natural light displays in the sky, usually observed at night, particularly in the polar regions.

Joanna, who never played with snow in her childhood, finally travelled to the North Pole with a camera crew and survived the harsh terrain and icy snow. She was padded up like the Michelin Man, slept in three sleeping bags on a block of ice in Igloo Hotel and rode on snowmobiles. But the greatest challenge was in the waiting. Waiting for the northern lights that would only appear when there is a right recipe of natural ingredients: cloudless skies, soft moonlight and intense solar activity.
