Northern Norway experiences Polar Nights from November to January, where the sun doesn't rise, creating a mystical darkness.
Known as the "Land of Midnight Sun," Norway sees 24-hour daylight during summer months above the Arctic Circle.
The enchanting "blue hour" bathes the landscape in deep blue colors around 1-2 PM, creating a dreamy winter wonderland.
Despite months of darkness, Norwegians maintain normal daily routines, with vibrant nightlife in cafes and restaurants.
The Arctic Circle covers 5.5 million square miles at 66.5° north latitude, marking the boundary for polar days and nights.
North Cape experiences two months of darkness, while Tromsø has six weeks, and Lofoten Islands face just under four weeks.
Svalbard, the northernmost region, plunges into complete darkness for about 4 months during winter.
The region isn't completely dark - clear days bring beautiful sunset colors to South Norway while the North stays midnight blue.
Locals face challenges like Seasonal Affective Disorder and high heating costs during the harsh winter months.
Life during Polar Nights teaches resilience and appreciation for small joys like firelight and companionship.
