That is real life in large areas of Northern Norway. And just imagine, many people who live in the north think that this is the finest time of the year, with fantastic skyscapes and magical lights. A visit during the dark months is a warming experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We are hidden on the back side of the Planet during winter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like the midnight sun, the Polar Night is attributable to the inclination of the planet. In the same way that globes are often mounted at an angle on their stands, Earth itself is angled to one side. Winter comes around when the northern hemisphere is farthest from the sun, and the Polar regions in the north are that part of the planet that are angled farthest away. In other words, the rest of the planet blocks off the sun! Wikipedia has a more detailed description. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Polar Night can last days to months depending on your location<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the North Cape, the sun remains under the horizon for more than two months, while in Troms\u00f8 the phenomenon lasts for six weeks or so. In Lofoten, the dark period is short, just under four weeks. From Bod\u00f8 and farther south, the sun does actually appear even in the deepest mid-winter, lighting up the winter landscape briefly around midday. At the other end of the scale is Svalbard, where the sun disappears completely for almost four months!<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/003844_Tommy-Andreassen_www.nordnorge.com_Vestvaagoey.jpg\" data-size=\"1199x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/003844_Tommy-Andreassen_www.nordnorge.com_Vestvaagoey.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset or sunrise?...\u00a9 Tommy Andreassen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/003844_Tommy-Andreassen_www.nordnorge.com_Vestvaagoey.jpg\" data-caption=\"Sunset or sunrise?...\u00a9 Tommy Andreassen\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/001470_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_Tromsoe.jpg\" data-size=\"1203x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/001470_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_Tromsoe.jpg\" alt=\"After snowfall in Troms\u00f8 \u00a9 B\u00e5rd L\u00f8ken\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/001470_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_Tromsoe.jpg\" data-caption=\"After snowfall in Troms\u00f8 \u00a9 B\u00e5rd L\u00f8ken\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/004667_Trym-Ivar-Bergsmo_www.nordnorge.com_Alta.jpg\" data-size=\"1242x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/004667_Trym-Ivar-Bergsmo_www.nordnorge.com_Alta.jpg\" alt=\"The blue light over Finnmark Plateau \u00a9 Trym Ivar Bergsmo\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/004667_Trym-Ivar-Bergsmo_www.nordnorge.com_Alta.jpg\" data-caption=\"The blue light over Finnmark Plateau \u00a9 Trym Ivar Bergsmo\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Sunset or sunrise?&#8230;\u00a9 Tommy Andreassen<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: After snowfall in Troms\u00f8 \u00a9 B\u00e5rd L\u00f8ken<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: The blue light over Finnmark Plateau \u00a9 Trym Ivar Bergsmo<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It is never completely dark all the time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the sun remains below the horizon, Northern Norway is not blacked out completely. On clear days, we can see beautiful sunset colours in the south while the sky to the north is a deep midnight blue. On Svalbard, however, it is fully dark even at midday for several weeks around Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The &#8220;blue hour&#8221; is the most iconic period of the day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Around 1\u20132 o\u2019clock in the afternoon, the residual light is reflected off the blue sea and the white snow, and the landscape is bathed in a glassy deep blue colour. This wonderful blue stays with us as long as the snow covers the ground and there is twilight. However, the blue hour occurs a few minutes later every day during winter, as the sun gains strenght.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Life goes on as normal in Norther Norway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The people of Northern Norway have lived with the dark months for the past 10,000 years or so. They go to work and to school as usual, and the range of leisure activities available in the evenings is broad and varied. Caf\u00e9s, restaurants and nightspots fill up night after night with talkative, good-humoured people, and many entertaining festivals are held during this period. Outdoor activities are far from impossible. There are illuminated ski runs in even small resorts in Northern Norway, and some operators organise dog-sledding and scooter trips where participants wear head-lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We are a little more tired, but are otherwise in good spirits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people in Northern Norway feel that they need a little more sleep, and everyone tends to go to bed a little earlier. Otherwise, Northerners experience few problems in the dark months, and there is no noticeable increase in depression and alcohol abuse. In fact, we handle this period much better than people from southern climes would think \u2013 perhaps because we know that it doesn\u2019t last all that long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>There is no noticeable increase in depression or alcohol abuse during the polar night<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In the Polar Night you can meet us in our winter home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To visit Northern Norway during the dark months is to meet us Northerners at home. It is a great time for cultural events, festivals, good food, Christmas shopping and outdoor activities. Bring your sweetheart for a romantic long weekend in the far north \u2013 it is the perfect setting for spending quality time together by the light of flickering candles. The spawning cod swim in close to the shore, and your taste buds rejoice. Snow scooter trips, dog-sledding and sleigh rides are organised in many places in Northern Norway and on Svalbard, and this is a great time of year to see the Northern Lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/009721_Jarle-Roessland_Visit-Svalbard_Longyearbyen.jpg\" data-size=\"1348x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/009721_Jarle-Roessland_Visit-Svalbard_Longyearbyen.jpg\" alt=\"Longyearbyen in the Polar Night \u00a9 Jarle R\u00f8ssland\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/009721_Jarle-Roessland_Visit-Svalbard_Longyearbyen.jpg\" data-caption=\"Longyearbyen in the Polar Night \u00a9 Jarle R\u00f8ssland\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/003845_Tommy-Andreassen_www.nordnorge.com_Vestvaagoey.jpg\" data-size=\"1600x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/003845_Tommy-Andreassen_www.nordnorge.com_Vestvaagoey.jpg\" alt=\"Moonlight replacing the sun in Lofoten \u00a9 Tommy Kristiansen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/003845_Tommy-Andreassen_www.nordnorge.com_Vestvaagoey.jpg\" data-caption=\"Moonlight replacing the sun in Lofoten \u00a9 Tommy Kristiansen\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/002302_Yngve-Olsen-Saebbe_www.nordnorge.com_Tromsoe.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/002302_Yngve-Olsen-Saebbe_www.nordnorge.com_Tromsoe.jpg\" alt=\"The Polar Night in Troms\u00f8 \u00a9Yngve Olsen S\u00e6bbe\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/002302_Yngve-Olsen-Saebbe_www.nordnorge.com_Tromsoe.jpg\" data-caption=\"The Polar Night in Troms\u00f8 \u00a9Yngve Olsen S\u00e6bbe\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Longyearbyen in the Polar Night \u00a9 Jarle R\u00f8ssland<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Moonlight replacing the sun in Lofoten \u00a9 Tommy Kristiansen<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: The Polar Night in Troms\u00f8 \u00a9Yngve Olsen S\u00e6bbe<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Going south for the Polar Night?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Bod\u00f8 the sun is over the horizon for 50 minutes at the winter solstice. Even though the city lies north of the Arctic Circle, the sun appears due to an optical illusion in the atmosphere. Despite this, you don&#8217;t see the sun, it is hiding behind the back of B\u00f8rvasstindan. In Str\u00f8kene south from Bod\u00f8 you can see the sun all year long, but stays low on the horizon, creating a drawn out sunset throughout midday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Total Polar Night consumes Svalbard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Northern Norway, there is normally at least some light even at the winter solstice. On Svalbard, however, there is no light at all. In Longyearbyen there is no daylight from the 11. November to the 30. January. when the sun lies more than 6 degrees below the horizon, Polar Night is declared. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-style-faq\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container
