My favorite protest. This city is just coming out of #polarnight with 2 months of complete darkness and still out there. And love the monarch butterfly

First encounter with the dark season: - Like being on another planet North of the Arctic Circle, darkness is a natural part of winter. For Julia En Khi Otterskred and Melina Heise, the first encounter with the dark season was a physical and mental upheaval.

Darkness is a natural part of winter above the Arctic Circle. For these students, the first encounter with the polar night is a physical and mental upheaval.

Spent a week in Utqiagvik — the northernmost town in the U.S., deep in the Arctic Circle. 98 photos of polar night skies, Iñupiat life, whale-bone arches & a town where the sun sleeps for weeks. Strange, cold & oddly beautiful. Read our winter travelogue and wonder why you haven’t booked a […]

Meanwhile, on Earth:
A faint aurora flickers at the edge of polar darkness.

With only two hours of sunlight, Swedish Lapland seemed like an unlikely destination for joy. But five days in the Arctic taught me lessons I never expected.

The sun is peaking above the horizon behind a frozen lake. In the foreground a bench full of snow and a pole with a rescue ring float for swimmers cast long shadows.

First glimpse of the sun this year after polar night. Always special. #polarnight #kirkenes #Finnmark #fujifilmx100f

Some runs are more than just getting home. 🌌🏃‍♂️
After work, I run into the polar night — deep blue sky, dark mountains, soft streetlights. Just my steps, cold air, crunching snow. Not far. Not fast. But enough. ❄️

Polar Night & a medal. 🏃‍♀️✨
I met Iryna Kyshakevych at Mørketidsløpet in Tromsø. From Ukraine to the #PolarNightMarathon. 42 km. Arctic winter. Aurora.
🥈2nd in her age group. Running for courage & community. 💙💛

People here live in complete darkness for 2.5 months. Here's how they do it On a cluster of islands between Norway and the North Pole, everyone wears headlamps for two-and-a-half months out of the year because it's pitch black outside. This weekend, the darkness begins.

During Norway's polar night, auroras blaze overhead while 30 meters below, plankton throw their own light show. Turning Arctic waters into an upside-down constellation.

🌃 Polar night, or kaamos in Finnish, begins today in Lapland. The sun won’t rise there again for almost two months. Here on the southern coast, the sun rises just barely above the horizon, and that’s why my shadow is this long even in the middle of the day.
