We've walked maybe 300 feet out onto the exposed mud flats just off a German island called Pellworm, written Pellworm, and in those couple of minutes, the excited gray sea has come racing back towards the shore.

[instrumental music] It's covered our footsteps almost as quickly as they were made, leaving us to walk through the deepening shallows.

Okay, well, I got there, I arrived by ferry from another island, just a little bit, a bigger island, not very far away.
T

This island is called Pellworm, like Pellworm, maybe.

And the day that I went, it was this gorgeous, beautiful day, calm water.

And it was so lovely going over there, you're going on this ferry, a small ferry.

You can see they have these huge skies and they're really kind of brooding, fast-moving skies.

You can see that things can change quickly.

And before I went there, I was on this other island of Pellworm and I had the opportunity to go out into the mudflats off the Wadden Sea with a native Pellwormer who spends half his time there and half his time in Hamburg, the German city of Hamburg.

Na gut, äh, was auch Spaß macht, ist, wenn hier auf der Erde Nordlichter unterwegs sind in unseren Breiten.
B
77:48Boris NienkeHOST
Vor 'n paar Tagen gab's, äh, mal wieder so 'n, ja, so 'ne Warnung, die rumging, so: „Mensch, heute Nacht könnten möglicherweise Nordlichter sichtbar sein über größeren Teilen Deutschlands." Und, ähm, wir haben auch dann, Moni hat 'n Bild, äh, irgendwo gesehen von Pellworm, also oben in der Nordsee, da waren sie tatsächlich auch sichtbar, aber so richtig runtergereicht hat's dann wohl doch nicht.
B
78:10Boris NienkeHOST
Also es war nicht so wie schon mal vor 'n paar Monaten, dass das riesengroß überall irgendwie hier in ganz Deutschland zu sehen ist.
B
78:17Boris NienkeHOST
Ähm, und, äh, ich hab das dann gepostet und Boris, du hast dann gefragt, äh: „Wann, wann muss ich denn ungefähr rausgehen, um die auch wirklich zu sehen?" Ja, genau, weil so meine Frage bezog sich drauf: Äh, lohnt es sich, jetzt schon rauszugehen? Da war's, weiß ich nicht, wie, wie spät war's? Halb zehn oder so.
