      I live in the Arctic and polar night is the most beautiful time of year. The sun almost comes up and paints the clouds red, while the sky to the north is stained purple. Then at night you frequently get the aurora and even if you don’t you get a beautiful crisp starry night surrounded by snowy mountains.

      People perpetually surprised by how far north they live will perpetually surprised me.

        You’d be surprised what some sunlight will do vs none at all. But the light that does come is very low on the horizon making it feel like sunrise/sunset and then it’s gone again.

        I can’t tell you about 24h of darkness, but I would love to experience a few weeks of 24h daylight! But only as a tourist. LOL
